  1. Add pure white vinegar to the kettle until it's about 1/3 full.

  2. Bring the vinegar to a boil for five minutes and then remove from the heat. Drain the kettle while it's hot and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

  3. Wipe the inside of the kettle with a dishcloth. The remains of the deposit should wipe right out.

  4. Rinse the kettle with water several times.
