Product Information

In addition to using descaling tablets, there are other steps you can take to maintain your kettle. Here are a few tips: If you use your kettle regularly, it is important to maintain it properly. This will ensure that it lasts longer and continues to function efficiently. Descaling your kettle with tablets is one way to keep it in good condition. You might have been told to expect limescale to be a bigger problem if you live in a hard-water area, but what’s the real difference between hard and soft water? In addition to this, not cleaning a kettle effectively, or often enough, can also lead to limescale build-ups.

If there is still some limescale buildup remaining after descaling with tablets, repeat the process until your kettle is clean. If your kettle is particularly scaly, you can also add a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the mixture to help shift any stubborn build-up – you should only need about a teaspoon.

To get rid of the smell, boil fresh water in the kettle a few times before using it to make tea or coffee. Note how clear the water is. If you've got hard water, you'll notice that the water below the suds will be cloudy rather than clear, and the suds themselves will be very shallow and not fluffy.

Some also suggest using Coke to descale your kettle, however, again, we do not recommend this. While it may shift some limescale, this can potentially damage your kettle and void its warranty.
