Dear Chiechai,

Have you tried using caustic soda solution? Off course you have to rinse the kettle with water after that

Good luck :smile:

Rgds,

Avila

Do you worry your kettle being scratched if using scrub pad? The other option is using smooth sand paper if caustic soda doesn't work.

Tell me about it! On Mr I's suggestion I switched to white scrub pads, at least now its easier to see when they're scrubbed to bits.

 

It still bothers me though.

Are you still getting bits Magenta?  I hadn't noticed that before.

 

The white ones also shouldn't scratch the metal at all.

I'm not getting bits, but it's beacuse they are so plainly dirty that the operators throw them out  instead of continuing to use them

Caustic works very well because it is well.....caustic, but make sure you are using the correct chemical strength and are using it correctly with all of the right PPE.  Otherwise it is easy for someone to get hurt quite easily.
