Unsure whether any white vinegar can be used, Irene Hosken asked: “Just got white vinegar, but on the label it says vinegar distilled malt. Can I use it in the kettle or is there a different


one?” In response, Janet Garner said: “If it's white it's fine to use. White vinegar is more acidic than the malt brown version or any other type of vinegar. It's the acid


that’s essential to dissolve the limescale.” Limescale, scientifically known as calcium carbonate, is a milky white, tough deposit that clogs up the filaments of kettles and forms when hot


water has evaporated and solidified.  As well as looking unappetising when it appears as flakes floating in hot drinks and giving boiled water a slightly metallic tang to it, limescale can


be stubborn to remove by scrubbing alone.
