How to clean a stainless steel kettle?

Options
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:)

    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.
