She captioned the video: “Easiest way to remove kettle limescale. You don’t need to buy a new kettle, you just need citric acid.”
Citric acid is derived from citrus fruits, and while it has some antibacterial properties, its real benefit is as a descaler.
For this method, Georgia instructed that you fill your kettle up halfway and boil before adding in two tablespoons of citric acid.
Leave the natural cleaning solution to sit for 15 minutes before emptying the kettle and giving it a rinse.
Once the time was up, the limescale buildup on Georgia’s kettle had completely vanished.
If the buildup is really bad in your kettle, you may need to let it soak a little longer or repeat this process. You can also let it soak overnight.
With this method, you shouldn’t have to use a cloth or brush inside the kettle at all, which is good because doing so could damage sensors or other electronic elements.
If you notice any limescale buildup on the outside of the kettle, you can dip a soft cloth in the solution that’s already in the kettle.
Then use the cloth to soak and wipe away limescale buildup on the exterior of the kettle.
