How to Clean a Tea Kettle Inside

by Hari Won

Tea kettles are a necessity in any kitchen. It is important to keep them clean so that they last longer and so that your food tastes better. One way to do this is by using the following steps: place a pot of water on the stovetop, bring it to a boil, remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda, let sit for 5 minutes then scrub with a sponge or dish cloth dipped in hot water.

After you have cleaned the inside of the kettle pour fresh cold water over it and wipe off any excess residue with paper towels or newspaper before drying completely. Now your tea kettle will look as good as new.

The tea kettle is one of the most important items in your kitchen. It's not just for making a cup of tea, it also helps you make instant soups, oatmeal and more. But over time they can get dirty inside with limescale or mineral deposits that are hard to remove without scrubbing. Here are some tips on how to clean a tea kettle inside:

  1. Soak the kettle in water and dish soap for at least five minutes
  2. Scrub it with a sponge or brush, using hot soapy water to get off caked-on stains
  3. Rinse the kettle thoroughly, inside and out
  4. Fill it with clean water and boil for 10 minutes to remove any traces of odors or residues that may still linger after cleaning.

In the past, you might have been told to boil water and pour it inside of your tea kettle. But this is a bad idea, as it will cause the plastic on the tea kettle to melt.

One way that people clean their tea kettles without risking damage is by filling them with salt and then adding some water for a few minutes before dumping everything out. This will help remove any buildup from inside of your kettle while also getting rid of smells that may be lingering in there too.
