"What is citric acid? Citric acid is a compound originally derived from citrus fruits... its real benefit is as a descaler."
"The most popular [kettle cleaning] method involves filling the inside with equal parts water and white vinegar... but it's not everyone's cup of tea."
Cleaning electric kettles often involves dealing with limescale, a buildup of mineral deposits from tap water. A common cleaning method includes using a vinegar solution, but this can leave strong odors. An alternative is using food-grade citric acid, a compound derived from citrus fruits, which can effectively descale kettles without unpleasant odors. Citric acid not only cleans but may also leave a faint pleasant scent, making it a preferred choice for individuals sensitive to vinegar's smell.
