Tips: How to Clean the Inside of a Tea Kettle - Try Vinegar
When you want to get more serious than just a rinse because perhaps you have some nasty mineral deposits, you can use distilled white vinegar. But we're talking about the inside of the kettle, which is lined with tin, so you have to proceed with caution!
Because the tin lining is susceptible to strong acids, you need to be very careful when cleaning it. The manufacturer's recommendation is not to use any acid, but to efficiently demineralize; you need a little acid from somewhere to be able to do this on your own.
Don't stress too much! Remember your chemistry lesson? The hard water buildup that you're trying to get rid of will neutralize the acid when the two come into contact!
So, if you use a bit of distilled white vinegar (about 1/2 cup) mixed with the water in the kettle at either room temperature or slightly warmed and left it to soak for a bit, the vinegar would be mostly already neutralized by the time it got around to interacting with the tin.
Afterward, finish up by rinsing several times with fresh water and wipe dry.
