KitchenCraft Le'Xpress Kettle Descaler Ball, Stainless Steel Wire Limescale Remover

Product Information

You can find out whether your kettle needs descaling by looking at time span and usage. You can see the hard mineral deposits on the top of your mug of tea or coffee, or you can also see a taste in the last sip. Is descaler better than vinegar? Aside from keeping your kettle free of limescale, this ball is also meant to reduce water boiling time, and therefore reduces energy costs, too. It also increases the life of your kettle.

And while you may think that’s a lot of sachets for a single house kettle, you’ll be glad to hear that Oust’s descaling sachets are multi-purpose and can clean showerheads and irons too. The bulk-buy option is also very reasonably priced.

After 10 minutes has elapsed, you’ll need to pour the water away, refill the kettle to the halfway line and boil it again to remove residue. Limescale can leave unsightly marks inside your kettle, stop it from working properly, and even change the taste of the water.

For a hassle-free and cheap way to descale a kettle, fill it with a mixture of half white vinegar and half water, and leave to soak overnight. (Make sure the kettle is unplugged and there's a note on it so nobody uses it accidentally!) In the morning, the limescale will come off easily. Rinse thoroughly to remove any lingering vinegary odours, and boil up fresh water after the treatment.How often you need to descale an electric kettle depends on what kind of water you put into it, and how often you use it. As a guide, you will need to use about one sachet every three months if you live in a hard water area, and one sachet every six months if you live in a soft water area. Over a period of time these deposits build up on the inside of kettles and present themselves as limescale.

If you’re after a more natural, non-toxic, cruelty free and vegan friendly descaler, Ecozone Kettle & Iron Descaler is what you’re after!
