As a rule, the smell of plastic comes from the kettle if you have just returned from a home appliance store with a purchase.
There are several possible explanations for its presence: it could be the remains of process oil or sealed packaging that did not allow the smell to evaporate.
In this case, you can get rid of the foreign smell using soda.
Pour water into the kettle up to the top mark, add 30 g of soda and boil the water.
The entire described procedure should be repeated at least 3 times, after which the product should be rinsed under running water.
If the smell is due to the fact that cheap, low-quality raw materials were used in the production of the teapot, we have some bad news for you – it would be better if you got rid of such a teapot.
The whole point is that when heated, harmful substances are released that will not benefit your body.
Finally, if we are talking about an old device, the appearance of a smell may indicate that the “age” of the electric kettle has come to an end – the plastic has already begun to crumble, and you should think about buying a new product.
