Be careful when you mix, if the concentration is more it may effect the kettle forever. Thanks Bharath Hi All,

"undiluted white vinegar" is just what you'd find in any grocery store, heinz being a major brand, but the large bottles are more economical for cleaning purposes.

They usually can be removed and soaked in vinegar to clean. I also use an old toothbrush on the screens. Hope that might help.

You can get the remaining water out with a sponge, rag or bilge pump (I happen to have them around the house) then fill the refill tank with full strength white vinegar and flush (with the water still off) let soak over night. Brush and flush. If that doesn't work you can try Muriatic Acid and do the same routine except it should only take an hour or less. **WARNING** Muriatic Acid is powerful stuff and will eat a whole in...well just about anything not glass or porcelain so be careful! and if you notice anything itching stop what you are doing and rinse with water.

I used a pumice stick and got a lot of it off followed by a flat head screw driver. But I can't reach a lot of it. What about the rusty looking scale stuff in the bottom of the toilet bowl.

This is the fastest and most effective method that I have found so far.
