Like all other kitchen appliances, it is also important to keep a kettle clean. Cleaning your kettle is not that difficult and done within minutes. Cleaning the kettle is important to keep a good condition of the kettle, but also definitely for enjoying a nice cup of tea. The most important thing in cleaning is descaling the kettle. There are several ways to do this. Besides not being difficult, chances are you already have the products you need to descale with in your kitchen cabinets!

Fortunately, cleaning the kettle is easy and done in a few minutes. It is recommended to clean the kettle every 3 months. But this does depend on how often you use it, the material of the inside and the hardness in your water. If white deposits appear in the kettle, it's time to clean it.

Cleaning your kettle is done in a few steps:

1. Put some of the chosen cleaning agent to descale it with into the kettle.
2. Top up the kettle with water until half full.
3. Then let the water boil.
4. Pour away the water, when the lime scale is gone rinse the kettle a few times with clean water and clean it.
5. Is the limescale still not gone? Then repeat the top steps again until the limescale is gone.

So now it is clear why you should clean a kettle. With proper maintenance of a kettle, you will also be able to enjoy it longer. But do you want to prevent limescale particles from getting into your tea? Then you can also easily solve this with a limescale filter! A limescale filter also needs to be cleaned once in a while, but this can easily be done under the tap with a sponge. So this saves some work. Note! This doesn't mean you don't have to descale your kettle anymore.
