From Ebay.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270958120373?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Didn't need it, at that moment. So, I chucked some in the teapot....... Nowt happened! :palm: So, it's in Mrs. Drillin's kitchen cupboard. Waiting to come in useful, mebbe! :scratch: David D --- End quote --- David D If you are talking about an electric tea kettle (plastic), I just throw in a couple of cups of white vinegar and bring it to a boil. That usually cracks off all the lime scale from the elements. Sometimes I just let it cool and boil it a second time if the first go-round didn't get it all. Dump that then boil a couple of kettles full of water and you are good to go. Shiny kettle, heats quicker, jobs done. :D :D Cheers :beer: Don |

Don. It's a very long running saga, ........ :doh: No.1 Son, started work as an Industrial Chemist/ Quantitative Analyst, (or something). Brought home some "citric acid" for mum's teapot. Whatever it was, it worked! It also worked in the kettle. Mum was delighted! Somehow, over the many years, and kettles, and teapots, we forgot what cleaned what. :palm: This evening, I've cleaned the stainless teapot. With a good dollop of Persil washing powder, and hot water. Herself refused to drink the suppertime cuppa. "It tastes of powder". (It did an all!). Soo..... The sparkling teapot is soaking overnight, in a strong mix of citric acid.......... :thumbup: I just hope it is tasteless, before breakfast time....... :( David D |
