Limescale buildup in kettles is a common household nuisance, but fear not! We’ve consulted with cleaning expert Sarah Johnson to bring you the most effective method for tackling this pesky problem in 2025.
The Vinegar Method: Still the Gold Standard
According to Johnson, the tried-and-true vinegar method remains the best way to remove limescale:
⦁ Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in your kettle.
⦁ Boil the mixture and let it sit for an hour.
⦁ Pour out the solution and rinse thoroughly.
⦁ For stubborn deposits, repeat the process.
“This method is not only effective but also eco-friendly and cost-efficient,” Johnson explains.
New Innovations
While the vinegar method remains top, Johnson notes some exciting developments:
⦁ Ultrasonic Descalers: These devices use sound waves to break down limescale.
⦁ Nano-coating Technologies: Some new kettles feature special coatings that resist limescale buildup.
Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing heavy limescale accumulation. Happy descaling!
