As tap water heats up and evaporates, it leaves behind trace minerals like calcium and magnesium, which harden into a crusty layer called limescale.
Both are effective acids that break down limescale. Citric acid powder (2 tablespoons per kettle of water) has the advantage of leaving absolutely no odor, unlike vinegar which requires thorough rinsing to remove the smell.
