Kettle limescale 'completely disappears in under two minutes' thanks to 'amazing' product
Descaling a kettle can be a thankless task, but one woman was left more than satisfied after cleaning enthusiasts shared a time-effective way to get rid of limescale
Limescale, that pesky white build-up, is notorious for hijacking our toilets, taps, and kitchen appliances.
When it's time to tackle the kettle, many swear by white vinegar for its gentle yet effective cleansing properties.
The cleaning powerhouses of vinegar and lemons are often celebrated for their knack at banishing kettle mineral build-up, with baking soda also getting a nod for its descaling prowess.

However, when Sarah Permaul reached out to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook group for advice on kettle limescale removal, the cleaning gurus suggested an alternative to the usual natural remedies.
Sarah Permaul sought help online, posting: "Hi, does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of limescale from a kettle? " adding, "It probably does not look that bad but it would be nice to remove it completely. I've already tried lemon juice and also the Oust descaler. Many thanks.", reports the Express.
While some members did suggest white vinegar, its strong odour was a turn-off for others. For those looking to dodge the potent smell but still crave sparkling results, citric acid emerged as the go-to solution.
Paula Henderson shared her foolproof method: "Just add a tablespoon of citric acid, boil the kettle and leave a while, works 100 percent every time and leaves no aftertaste or smell."
Vanessa Birch echoed the sentiment, saying: "Tablespoon of citric acid straight into the just boiled water and the limescale goes instantly."
Jen Sarah offered a similar tip: "Boil water, add one or two tablespoons of citric acid, and leave until limescale is removed. takes no time at all."
Sumaiya Ghumra suggested: "A tablespoon of citric acid and add water and boil. Lovely clean kettle every time and no smell."
Mehtap Dew claimed: "Citric acid is a great one to use. I put about two tablespoons in and boil it and the whole thing disappears in under two minutes."
Baaba Amissah instructed: "Add a tablespoon of citric acid or two to a full kettle of water. Boil, then let it sit for a few minutes and rinse with cold water."
"This completely removes any residue of the citric acid so the kettles are good as new. Do this monthly to keep a very clean kettle."
Dawn Dreyer said: "Citric acid in a full kettle and boil, will look like a new kettle."
