Product Information

However, food products are constantly being improved so their ingredients and the other information we publish here, including details of their nutritional content and allergy advice, is liable to change. The harder one scrubs, the more susceptible the kettle is to having its inner surface removed in the process. Being one of the world’s go-to brands for everyday essentials such as kettles and coffee machines, we understand how to get the very best out of the appliances you rely on every day.

And if you fill your kettle up with soft water but you don’t boil your kettle very much, you should descale your kettle every two to three months. As a result, grime builds up in the kettle and cleaning it may now be a more regular household chore. The sachets look a bit like giant tea bags and are made using safe food-grade ingredients, so you won’t be putting any nasty chemicals in your kettle.

Another cleaning fan, Loraine Fisher asked Kimberley for more details: “About how much white vinegar would you use, never needed to descale before but now our water is horrendous. If you do not wish us to pass on your contact details to our carrier, please let us know after purchase. By the end of the treatment your kettle should be free from limescale, running more efficiently, and have a longer lifespan. The heating element should then be switched on – please ensure that the solution does not foam over.

I usually get the liquid descaler in pouches but I couldn’t find any and thought this seemed good value for money. Whereas Molly Whitenstall suggested: “I use Boots steriliser descaler in mine (baby bottle steriliser). Didn’t remove scale from kettle as well as other brand name descaler I normally use, gave this a go as was cheaper. Limescale build-up in everyday household appliances doesn't just look unpleasant, it reduces performance which ultimately shortens your appliance's life and makes it more costly to run. Similarly, if you live in a hard water area, but you rarely boil your kettle, you should also descale your kettle on a monthly basis just to keep the mineral deposits at bay.But every time I do this, no matter how much (or little) water I put in it always boils over out of the spout and goes everywhere, as anybody got a better solution? Damage caused by limescale is sometimes only visible after descaling — SLAM will not have caused any damage.
