So you’ve got the best electric kettle that you can afford or you recently purchased a new kettle but after a month of daily usage, you find your kettle is taking longer than usual to boil and is looking a bit tired out. The freshly boiled hot water doesn’t seem as clear and there seems to be a metallic taste in it as well. This means it’s time for a clean and descale of your kettle.
If you don’t descale your kettle, this causes your kettle to burn out as more and more limescale builds up inside which effects the heating element. It doesn’t take a lot of time to clean a kettle and there are several methods for it. We’ve put together a guide for you to learn how to descale a kettle without costing a lot of money, effort or time.
