How do you clean your elements

[Chris]

As above what methods do you use to clean your elements in you kettles?

[Eoin]

I've added citric acid to a mini boil and then got it pretty hot, not boiling and then let it sit.

[LordEoin]

same, then a scrub with an abrasive pad on a sponge and a toothbrush for the hard to get bits.

I soak them in a white wine vinegar solution for 24 hours. A quick once over with a toothbrush and they're like new again. Then rinse with boiled water to get rid of any traces of vinegar.

I fill the kettle with water and a few scoops of Lidl's W5. Heat to 35-40° and let it sit for a while. Quick rinse. No scrubbing required (yet).

i went with your method Gary and it seems to have done the job. Had to take a toothbrush to the element alright but didn't take long.

I just take them off and give them a good scrub with an abrasive sponge.

Hot water and a scrubby pad. All that's needed really.
