Kettle Descaling

[lizzyeddy]

Living in an hard-water area, I need to descale my kettle often and afterwards it leaks all over - even from the joins in the plastic handle. I then have to buy a new kettle! Why does this happen?

Try de-scaling with 50/50 malt vinegar & water mix, more friendly all-round and cheaper.

[Gef]

Buy a metal kettle.

hello fill kettle up with water and squirt whole fresh lemon juice into the water then boil; several times.

Don't think you understood my question. Whatever I use to descale my kettle, it leaks badly afterwards even from the join in the handle. Lizzyeddy
