Even if you remember to regularly rinse your kettle and use only filtered water, you won’t be able to avoid scale build-up.

Fortunately, there are many ways to combat this type of pollution.

The most common of these is to use citric acid.

To remove scale, it is recommended to fill the dishes with water and pour a packet of lemon juice inside.

After the liquid boils, it should be left in the kettle to cool, then drained and rinsed under running water.

But there is also a more “tasty” option that is suitable for apple lovers.

To evaluate its effectiveness, you should thoroughly wash 2-3 sour green apples and cut off a thick layer of peel.

Throw the peelings into a boiling kettle and leave for a few hours. It is worth noting, however, that this method is only good for light stains.
