Gather Your Cleaning Essentials

Before embarking on your cleaning mission, gather the following essential tools:

• White vinegar or lemon juice
• Baking soda
• Soft cloths or sponges
• Dish soap

Step 1: Unplug and Disassemble

Unplug your kettle from the power source and allow it to cool completely. Carefully disassemble the kettle by removing the lid and base.

Step 2: Remove Loose Debris

Wipe away any loose tea leaves, coffee grounds, or other debris from the interior and exterior of the kettle using a soft cloth or sponge.

Step 3: Descale with Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Fill the kettle with equal parts white vinegar or lemon juice and water. Bring the solution to a boil and let it sit for 30 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits (scale).

Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly

Empty the vinegar or lemon juice solution and rinse the kettle several times with cold water to remove any residual acidity.

Step 5: Clean the Lid and Base

Hand-wash the lid and base with warm water and dish soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently remove any dirt or grime.

Step 6: Deodorize with Baking Soda

If your kettle has a lingering odor, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into the interior and let it sit for several hours. This will absorb any unwanted scents.

Thoroughly rinse the kettle with cold water to remove the baking soda. Use a clean cloth or sponge to dry the kettle completely.
