My wife was trying to clean our kettle

I said, it needs CLR

she asked what CLR is

I said Calcium Lime and Rust. There is also Lime-Away.

She put the CLR in there. Then she washed it out many times. All of the mineral deposits washed away. She rinsed it out with water many more times, and then eventually cleaned it with vinegar after rinsing it many times. At least, I think that’s how she cleaned it. She’s the kettle cleaner, I don’t know much about it, other than that CLR exists.

It was very clean for a few months.

We got a regular kettle after that

    Have 50 ppm in my city, Gothenburg, Sweden. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned about descaling etc. because it’s just never (or very rarely) needed here.
