A new electric kettle can indeed smell like plastic due to traces of industrial oils, lubricants and other liquids.
Plastic components may also smell, but this smell quickly disappears.
Another reason is long-term exposure to polymer packaging material.
Let's see how you can get rid of this smell.
What tools will help?
These substances can be found in your home.
