does any one know what you could boil in a tea kettle to clean, it's stainless steeler?

Answer 1

Try white vinegar. We run it through our coffee pot and it cleans that good.

Answer 2

Snow,

A tea kettle is a prime example of distillation at it's finest.

When you put water in a kettle and boil it, the steam that comes through the spout is pure water, thus concentrating the metals and other contaminants in the bottom of the pot.

Clean your kettle by washing and rinsing it once a month.

Answer 3

Put 1/2half cup of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar. and boil.swish it around when done, you might have to to it again. then boil plain water and discard that, and you should be good to go. Now to keep the bottom of the kettle clean and not build up that sediment put 4 or 5 marbles in it they will rotate as the water boil and keep it clean.

Answer 4

Are you trying to clean it because it is dirty or has mineral deposits.? Dirty tea kettles can be washed with soap and water and a SOS pad. Vinegar will clean the mineral deposits. To keep mineral deposits from accumulating..buy a new stainless steel choew girl type scrubby and leave it in the pot when you boil water to keep mineral from forming..

Answer 5

I use 10% Vinegar solution - fill to the boil line and boil, let it sit for 1 hour, rinse and try again if it needs a second wash.

Answer 6

Try using pure vinegar, and let it sit overnight. You may also want to clean it with a lime, calcium, and rust remover, but you must check the bottle to make sure it is a safe product to use for your kettle. Good luck!

Answer 7

Try adding about a teaspoon of cream of tartar. Boil for about 5 minutes and then let it set overnight. Works like a charm.

Answer 8

I don't know about boiling to clean it but when I was a waitress we put ice cubes and salt in them and just swished it around. The slight abrasiveness of the salt and the melting ice did the trick.
