How do you recognise when to clean your kettle?
You can immediately see if there is limescale in your kettle, there will be a cream-like layer on the heat elements and on the bottom, so to speak. This is the first place to find lime. Should there be so much lime in the kettle that it cannot adhere, it will end up in your cup of tea. Of course, you need to stay ahead of this, so if you have limescale build-up in your kettle, you need to clean the appliance by descaling it.
What is lime?
Everyone knows it, little flakes in your kettle and sometimes in your tea. These flakes are small pieces of lime, or calcium carbonate. Lime is formed in an equilibrium reaction, especially during the heating of hard water. The higher the water hardness, the more scale-forming particles are in the water.
From 4.0 dH (German hardness) onwards, you will suffer from annoying limescale deposits; at a water hardness of 5.5 dH, limescale can cause irreparable damage.
