To clean a kettle with lemon, follow these simple steps:
- Roll a whole lemon on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut it in half or into thin slices.
- Put the lemon halves or slices inside the kettle.
- Fill the kettle with enough water to cover the affected areas.
- Boil the water with the lemon inside.
- Let the kettle sit for about 20 to 30 minutes after boiling.
- Empty the kettle and use a kitchen scrubbing brush or the lemon pieces themselves to scrub inside, focusing on limescale areas.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- For extra freshness and to remove any leftover lemon taste, boil clean water once more and discard it.
This method is natural, effective at removing limescale, and leaves a fresh lemon scent. It's recommended to clean your kettle this way regularly to maintain its cleanliness.
