Tea and coffee is an important part of the day for any office. The electric kettle is an inevitable part of any kitchen and the creation of hot beverages. You may even be drinking a hot drink whilst reading this blog right now, ask yourself- does it taste weird? This may be because limescale has built up inside your kettle. Although limescale will not damage the kettle, it will work better if the limescale is regularly removed and cleaned.
With the tea and coffee breaks at work being one of the most enjoyed parts of the day, it is crucial that the office kettle is in full working order. No kettle could result in a decrease in office morale and mood, which then affects productivity. It is not environmentally cautious or cost-effective if the kettle has to be replaced every few months, therefore thorough and regular cleans are important to include in your cleaning schedule.
You will need to descale the kettle. Descaling is essential to a well-working kettle and good tasting boiled water. To descale you will need some sort of acid, whether that be a commercial cleaner or natural cleaner. Once you have decided which cleaning agent you will use, it is time to add water to make the final substance to remove the limescale. Pour the substance into the kettle until it covers all the places which need descaling. From here you can either leave the substance to soak, empty and rinse, or boil the kettle with the mixture inside, remembering to leave the kettle to completely cool before pouring it away and rinsing. After this, you will wash the inside of the kettle with washing up liquid and fresh water, after that it should be limescale free! If there is still limescale left, repeat the treatment. You will now be able to enjoy your tea or coffee without a horrible taste or bits!
Whilst cleaning the inside of a kettle is very important, the outside will also need to be cleaned. Remember to unplug the kettle! Wash the kettle by hand with washing up liquid and freshwater, scrub with a sponge until the entire kettle is dirt free. If you feel a sponge may damage the kettle, alternatively used a soft cloth to wash it. Once it has been washed, leave it to completely dry before you plug it in and next use.
