The spotted stains at the bottom of the kettle appear over time as a result of overuse and minimal cleaning.
The high acidity concentrate in vinegar is known to kill bacteria, mould and germs and also acts as a great natural cleaning product.
It is also safe to combine water with vinegar when cleaning as the two don’t form a chemical reaction.
