How to Descale a Kettle

Why Descaling a Kettle is Important: Descaling is crucial because limescale build-up from hard water can negatively impact the efficiency and lifespan of a kettle. Regular descaling ensures optimal performance, prevents damage to internal components, and maintains the taste quality of the water used for brewing coffee or tea​.
