You can clean this in minutes without any hassle using Gharista's Universal Cleaner. No mixing solutions, no multiple products — just spray and wipe. Plant-based, safe for your family, and works on almost every surface.

If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean a tea kettle effectively at home.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Fill with Vinegar Solution

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Fill kettle to max line.

2

Boil the Solution

Bring the vinegar water to a full boil. Turn off and let sit.

3

Soak for an Hour

Let the solution sit for 1 hour. For heavy buildup, leave up to 4 hours.

4

Empty and Scrub

Pour out solution. Use soft brush to scrub loose any remaining deposits.

5

Rinse Multiple Times

Fill with plain water, boil, and discard. Repeat 3-4 times to remove vinegar taste.

6

Wipe Exterior

Clean outside of kettle with damp cloth. Polish stainless steel with olive oil.

Pro Tips

  • Descale monthly in hard water areas
  • Never fill past max line to prevent boilover
  • Use filtered water to slow mineral buildup
