The scale problem is relevant for many kettle owners. In fact, it is not so easy to get rid of it.
But surely everyone at home has a remedy that will deal with the problem in a jiffy.
This is not expensive household chemicals or even citric acid. We are talking about ordinary vinegar.
All you need to do is fill the kettle with equal parts white vinegar and water.
The mixture should completely cover the limescale inside the appliance.

Leave the kettle like this for about an hour – enough time for the acid in the vinegar to dissolve the plaque.
Then turn on the kettle and bring the mixture to a boil.
Let the appliance boil for a few minutes – this will loosen the limescale even more.
After that, we disconnect the kettle from the mains and let it cool down.
The next step is to wipe the inside of the device using a non-abrasive brush or sponge.
We treat the areas with scale especially carefully. But we should be careful not to scratch the surface of the kettle.
After this, pour the mixture out of the kettle, rinse it thoroughly with clean water, removing any remaining vinegar.
If the scale is not completely gone, the procedure can be repeated.
