Mrs Hinch fans are buzzing about a secret weapon that will get your kettle gleaming. As a nation hooked on coffee and tea, it's inevitable that our kettles will suffer from limescale build-up. Although this mineral deposit isn't harmful, it can mess with the taste of our beloved brews and even cut short the life of our kettles, leading to pricey replacements.
The usual go-to solutions for tackling limescale include household favourites like lemon, vinegar and baking soda. But for Sarah Permaul, none of these did the trick. She reached out on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook group, filled with fellow cleaning buffs, seeking advice on banishing the kettle limescale.
"It probably does not look that bad but it would be nice to completely remove it," she shared. "I've already tried lemon juice and also the Oust descaler. Many thanks.". According to The Express, while many suggested white vinegar, others were put off by its pungent smell. Instead, citric acid emerged as the hero of the hour, offering a potent de-scaling effect without leaving any lingering odours or tastes. Skip the vinegar brew – who needs that?.
And for those looking to save some pennies, why not subscribe to our Money Newsletter for all the latest money-saving tips and top deals delivered directly to your inbox?. One savvy individual shared their top tip online, saying: "Just add a tablespoon of citric acid, boil the kettle and leave a while, works 100 percent every time and leaves no aftertaste or smell.".
