Descaling a kettle typically involves mixing vinegar or lemon juice with water. You fill the kettle with 1 cup of vinegar or lemon juice mixed with 2 cups of water, then boil this mixture for about 2 hours before rinsing thoroughly with clean water.

In summary, hard water can cause scaling in appliances like kettles. To maintain optimal performance and cleanliness, it's essential to descale your kettle periodically using the appropriate method described above. assistant: How to Clean and Descale a Kettle?
