How to clean a stainless steel kettle?

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to clean the marks (water stains?) off a stainless steel kettle. Washing up liquid doesn't work.

Many thanks:)

baby oil works wonders on stainless steel

I've not tried it, but howabout white vinegar on a cloth to dissolve the limescale?

You need an acid to dissolve the calcium deposit - vinegar or lemon juice or a little bit of a liquid descaler, dampen a cloth with it.

The baby oil is great for keeping the shine.

Barkeep(er)s Friend may work for this. It's usually sold in the cleaning aisle of supermarkets and you could check the label there.

I use vinegar on a damp cloth - it's so easy and takes off all the water marks.

Any vinegar will do

I use some stuff called Astonish. It comes in a little blue tub and is like hard Vim. (If you remember it). I get it from the pound shop.
