Frequently asked questions

How do I remove heavy limescale from inside my kettle?

Fill with equal parts white vinegar and water, boil, let sit for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water (boil and discard once). For heavy buildup, repeat. Citric acid solution also works well and has no vinegar smell.

Does using filtered water reduce descaling needs?

Yes significantly — filtered or RO water has much lower mineral content, reducing limescale accumulation by 60–80%. If you already have an RO purifier, using that water in your kettle extends its life noticeably.
