Naturally, all kitchen kettles develop a layer of limescale over time. And if you're a fan of family-friendly, organic cleaning, you probably prefer to replace chemical products with natural alternatives wherever possible.
So rather than scrubbing or washing out your kettle using nasty chemicals, with little to no effort at all this quick, easy cleaning hack will help you clean and descale your kettle in just a matter of minutes.
Method
Step 1. Thinly slice up one whole lemon, adding the pieces into your kettle. Fill with cold water, covering the affected areas.
Step 2. Boil! Then switch off the kettle, and leaving it to sit for around half an hour.
Step 3. Boil a second time, empty the appliance, and rinse well with clean cold water.
