Where can i buy cheap white vinegar?

I need about 2 litres of white vinegar to de scale a tefal quick cup kettle.

I'm sure some other posts recommended Asian groceries/supermarkets for selling large quantities cheaply.

Your local Indian or Chinese wholesalers, 5lt drum for about £1.50.

2 litres is a lot to descale a kettle! You can use brown vinegar, it doesn't have to be white

OK I lied !!!!!
I only need 1.6 litres.
Instructions say to only use white vinegar.

You don't need to fill the kettle! Just a little in the bottom to cover the element will be enough. Last time I used cheap orange squash, boiled up in the kettle, the citric acid in it removes the scale.

HTH!

Only problem is its a tefal quick cup kettle.
The vinegar has to sucked through the workings etc...
Its one of those kettles that heat the water in 3 seconds.

Oh I see! Ask on the old style money saving board, I think they might be able to advise you how best to do it, and the cheapest way of course!
