Descaling your kettle
The best thing you can do is to descale your kettle every couple of months, this to make it easier and it also doesn’t require much time for you to remove all the limescale in the kettle. If it’s been longer then 3 or 4 months since you last descaled your kettle it is probably better using a stronger mix of white vinegar and leave it overnight or you could repeat the process a couple of times. Just be sure you boil the kettle with fresh water a couple of times before you use it.
It’s by far the easiest, cheapest and safest way to descale your kettle and completely remove the lime scale from your kettle.
