How to get rid of kettle limescale: ‘Super cheap’ method uses a 65p kitchen staple [Video]

Limescale is a chalky white substance you can find at the bottom of kettles, and while harmless it can spoil your cups of tea and even raise your energy bills.

Over time, limescale can begin to coat the heating element of a kettle which can cause it to stop working properly and will require more energy to boil water.

If not cleaned properly, limescale will affect the taste of your hot beverages and eventually cause a kettle to malfunction, but luckily you can clean it using lemon juice.
