gross huh? Nothing you can do about it unless you heat your water via the
stove. Drinking distilled water is not supposed to be good for you.

Keep cleaning.

om...
hi there,i am trying to revitalise a kettle which had accumulated
some hard water deposits.

i boiled some undiluted white vinegar in it and left for a few hours.i
looked down the lid and the chrome coloured element was shiny as new.

to keep it new i decided to use bottled water in it from now on.

a few weeks later i noticed floating particles in my tea. i checked
the kettle to find quite a 1cm white formation growing on a part of
the element. in addition some areas of the element had green corrosion
marks.

Any ideas what is going on down there?How do you clean your kettles?
thanks,

Sam
