Limescale, which forms over time in any kettle, is a fairly common problem.

Due to deposits on the bottom and walls of the container, the taste and quality of the water changes, and not for the better.

In order to cope with such a problem, experienced housewives use all sorts of improvised means, the leaders among which are soda, lemon juice and carbonated drinks.

But there is another method that can safely be called the simplest and most convenient among all existing ones.

The method in question is based on the use of vinegar.

The procedure is as follows: First, fill the kettle halfway with water, then add 3-4 tablespoons of 9% vinegar.

Wait until the acidic solution boils. By the way, it is worth doing this with the window open so that harmful vapors and unpleasant odors do not linger in the room.

After this, the vinegar solution should be poured out, and the kettle should be filled with clean water and boiled again. This should be done 2-3 times.

All that remains is to thoroughly rinse the kettle under running water and you can use it again for everyday needs.
