Descaling the water boiler

DESCALING THE WATER KETTLE

HOW TO PROPERLY DESCALE YOUR KETTLE

Limescale deposits inside your kettle can cause scale to end up in your coffee or tea. You can find out how to get rid of these limescale deposits here:

Why and How to Descale Your Kettle

Have you ever noticed that your tea or coffee tastes odd? Or that your kettle takes longer and longer to boil water? The culprit is a persistent enemy: limescale.

Is limescale in your kettle harmful?
Limescale is a natural mineral deposit found in water. But is it harmful in your kettle? While limescale isn’t dangerous to your health, it can cause significant issues for your appliances. In kettles, these deposits not only leave unsightly stains and edges, but they can also break off as flakes and end up in your drinks.

And there’s more: kettles with limescale buildup consume more energy than clean ones because they take longer to boil water. This results in increased energy usage, higher electricity bills, and a significantly reduced lifespan for the appliance.

How to effectively remove limescale from your kettle
The good news: removing limescale from your kettle is simple if you use the right products. Here’s how:

  • Empty the kettle completely

  • Apply a professional kettle descaler, following the recommended dosage (our Interpul-Leida Descaler should be diluted from 1:20 to 1:1 depending on the level of limescale)

  • Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to dissolve the deposits

  • Rinse thoroughly at least 3–4 times with clean water

  • Boil clean water once and discard it to remove any product residues

This easy process, performed regularly (we recommend once a month in areas with hard water), will keep your kettle in optimal condition and extend its lifespan.

DIY limescale removal: why it’s better to avoid it
The internet is full of tips for removing limescale using home remedies. Let’s take a look:

  • Using baking soda: Although baking soda has cleaning properties, it isn’t acidic enough to break down tough limescale deposits.

  • Using citric acid: Citric acid can help with light scaling but requires longer application times and doesn’t prevent new buildup.

  • Using vinegar: Vinegar contains acetic acid which can dissolve limescale, but it leaves a strong smell that can affect the taste of beverages for many uses afterward.

These DIY methods may seem inexpensive, but they come with several disadvantages:

  • Limited effectiveness against stubborn deposits

  • Require repeated applications and longer treatment times

  • Can damage internal parts of the kettle

  • Offer no prevention against future buildup

  • May alter the taste of future beverages

In contrast, a professional descaler is specifically formulated to:

  • Quickly remove even the most stubborn limescale

  • Protect your appliance’s materials

  • Prevent the formation of new deposits

Descaling in professional use
Regular descaling is especially important in professional and commercial environments, where kettles and appliances are used intensively. Here are some examples:

  • Hotels and accommodations
    Every hotel room or B&B with a kettle needs regular maintenance. A scaled-up kettle not only offers a poor guest experience but also increases energy costs and appliance replacement rates.

  • Offices and coworking spaces
    Office break rooms see dozens of kettle uses daily. Regular descaling ensures energy efficiency and hygiene for all employees.

  • Cafés, bars, and restaurants
    In these settings, drink quality is key to customer satisfaction. A scaled-up kettle or coffee machine can significantly affect flavor.

  • School and corporate cafeterias
    Managing large volumes requires consistently efficient appliances. Regular descaling ensures fast preparation and reduced energy use.

  • Nursing homes and healthcare facilities
    Hygiene is especially important here. Removing limescale eliminates potential breeding grounds for bacteria and ensures high drink quality.
