Instruction manual
1
Do not forget to wash the kettle from time to time with the addition of vinegar and soda, thanks to this the scale from hard water will not linger on the walls.
2
If the scum still appears, remove it in one of the following ways: pour cold water into the kettle, put the peel of two lemons and boil for 15 - 20 minutes. Then pour new water and add 1 teaspoon of soda, boil again for several minutes. After the kettle has cooled, carefully remove the softened scale with a brush or washcloth. The advantage of this method is that after application in the house remains a pleasant smell of lemon.
3
Instead of lemon, put potato husks or peel in apples in the kettle, pour water and boil for at least an hour, then rinse the kettle thoroughly.
4
Very effective method: fill the kettle with water and add 1 bag of citric acid or a little vinegar. Boil and leave overnight, the next day, pour water with vinegar again and boil. The scum will disappear without a trace. Note that the more vinegar (acid), the more effective and faster the cleaning will be, but it can corrode some parts of the kettle along with scale, in addition, a rather unpleasant smell will appear in the apartment.
5
To remove plaque from the teapot spout, do this: pour boiling water and add 1 to 3 teaspoons of soda (depending on the size of the teapot). Then cover it with a lid and wrap it with a bath towel for 2 to 3 hours.
6
To remove scale, you can use purchased products, for example, “Anti-scale”, CITRO KALC LOSER, “Silite” to remove rust from heating devices or others. Carefully read the instructions on the packaging and do not forget to thoroughly rinse the kettle after using them.
7
To prevent scale from appearing at all, use only purified water for boiling. To do this, buy water in a store or pass it through a filter. Even a kettle with a scum after a few days of boiling such water will begin to gradually be released from its "coat."

A teapot also requires constant care; do not leave it overnight with an old teapot. Do not rub it much, just wipe it with a soft sponge using detergent. Then rinse thoroughly with running water. Do not store the teapot in the same spice cabinet.
