How to Clean the Inside of Your Tea Kettle...Naturally...

Over time, the regular use of your tea kettle leaves a thick white residue on the inside. I don't know about you but in my home my tea kettle is used on the daily to prepare warm and comforting hot beverages, which is essential to help me get through the frigid New York winters. It is important to not only keep it clean but to use only natural methods to clean it as its contents will be ingested. When we hear 'natural'  method sometimes our brains tend to think that it will be too expensive and turn to more conventional cleaners that you find in big supermarkets. I am glad to inform you that in this case it is MUCH easier (and cheaper) than you think! All you really need is white wine vinegar which most people have lying around there house anyway and......that's it! By using a natural disinfecting and cleaning agent, you will not only avoid harsh chemicals but your tea kettle will be shinier and cleaner than ever before.


You will need:

  • White vinegar
  • Water
  • Soft cloths or Scrubbing pads....THAT'S IT!
Steps to clean the Tea Kettle:
  1. Fill the teapot with one part water and one part vinegar.
  2. Place the pot on the stove and bring the liquids to a boil.
  3. Allow them to boil for a few minutes, then turn off the heat.
  4. When the water cools down to a warm temperature, dispose of the water.
  5. Use a soft cloth or scrubbing pad to wipe the stains away from the insides of the teapot.
  6. Wash as normal, and rinse completely with clean water.
  7. Dry with a soft cloth.
  8. Diluted vinegar can also be used on a soft cloth to polish the exterior of the teapot.
