Over half of the UK population live in hard-water areas meaning limescale (the residue left by hard-water) can be a big problem.
Luckily, it is easy to treat if you find it in your kettle.
Traditionally, the element in the kettle was always exposed and in contact with the water, so limescale build-up was one of the biggest causes of kettle failure.
Nowadays, our kettles mostly have the element hidden behind a metal base plate which reduces the risk of element damage and lengthens their lives. This doesn’t mean limescale isn’t a problem, though.
