How To Clean an Electric Kettle in an Easiest and Fastest Way
One of the most used home appliances in my house is an electric kettle.
When boiling stew, I can save time by boiling water in the electric kettle and then pouring hot water into the pot on the stove,
As someone who likes to drink tea, I always easily boil water and brew tea leaves.
However, one drawback of these electric kettles is that limescale is built often inside of the kettle.
The reason why scales form like this is because the calcium component in the water is heated and has the property of sticking to the inside.
If these scales are not removed, they interfere with heat conduction, which increases the time to boil the water, and bacteria can also multiply. Therefore, it is a good idea to clean the electric pot periodically.
It is recommended to use citric acid or vinegar to remove limescale, but I personally prefer citric acid.
I have tried using vinegar to clean, but in my case, I found that a spoonful of citric acid removed scale much faster and cleaner. Also, I liked that there was no vinegar smell after cleaning.
๐๐ปThis is My Way How to Remove Scale from the Electric Kettle๐๐ป
- Prepare citric acid.
- Add a teaspoon of citric acid (it doesn’t have to be a full teaspoon amount) into the electric kettle
- Add water to the electric kettle with one teaspoonful amount of citric acid.
- Turn on the power of the electric kettle and boil the water.
- Rinse with clean water.
