3 Simple Ways To Clean Your Kettle

1. Citric Acid

Fill the kettle with water and boil. Once boiled stir a tablespoon of citric acid into the water and let it sit for 15 – 30 mins depending on the level of scale build up. Rinse and repeat if needed.

2. Lemons

Cut a lemon in half, or more if required to fit into the kettle, and place into a kettle full of water. Being careful not to go above your ‘max’ water line. Boil the kettle and leave to sit for an hour or so. Rinse and repeat with a new lemon if some buildup remains.
