This is a quick, cheap and easy way to descale a kettle and it's one of those home cleaning jobs where vinegar actually works.

That scale is pretty tame. When I lived in Essex years ago shower heads, hot tap outlets, steam irons and kettles were all regularly furred up. And very quickly. I used a yellow liquid from Mangers. Brilliant in kettles, the scale dissolved before your eyes, simply pour in required amount immediately after boiling kettle. I used to dunk the shower head in the kettle at the same time. I guess I was being a tight git 😊😊

@@missygaddu hi, my apologies, showing my age a bit, mangers is no more, the equivalent is Kilrock-K (the original) it says on the bottle. Its a yellow bottle. Its very good. Also removes the crystals around urinals from splashes on the floor, plus rust stains from tarmac. Try it, most DIY stores. 😉

This was very helpful! Our kettle is a mess. So, once you heat the vinegar, instead of dumping it in the sink, pour it on weeds in the yard. It works like a charm to kill them.

At 4m 18 its a bit unclear what you do to get rid of the vinegar in the kettle after you've poured it out? Do you boil water in it a further two times then boil up cold water to get rid of any vinegar residue left in the kettle? thanlks

people who live in areas, where the drinking water is " soft " is a bit acidic, makes their teeth etc funerable, acid dissolves lime. but if you use " soft water " in your washing machines, showers, and washing windows etc, they are spotless. when we wash are hands in the wash hand basin, with hand soap, it produces " soap scum " which ends up blocking the trap and waste pipes, same applies to showers, you more than likely, know all about this, l have been a plumber since 1972, so l could not aviod it

Put your absolute trust in the LORD. He will never stir or lead you in the wrong direction. Understand and know that he knows what’s best for you so don’t do your own thing/way. He won’t fail you nor will he forsake you. So just trust and believe in him with all your heart, soul, and might and watch him transform your life.❤️Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
