Default De scaling kettle

Hello,


We live in a very hard water area and the kettle scales up very very
quickly, I have always used de scaler tablets or powder to de scale
the kettle however I was wondering if there was another way of doing
it as the price of de scaler is working out to be quite expensive.


I have Googled it and most people suggest vinegar, bicarbonate of soda
or lemon juice, somehow I don't have any faith in those things.


We always use Waitrose descaler and find that it works perfectly well. You
can also slow the build up of scale if you empty he kettle fully after each
use.

I used the de scaler from Aldi and it works a treat, so does the cheap
one pound one you get in Asda named Keep it handy.
I was just wondering if there was an alternative to using chemicals.
