How to Descale a Kettle and Coffee Maker Like a Real Janitor

#cleaningtips #descaling #KettleCleaning #coffeemaker #JanitorSecrets #homecleaning Your kettle is full of white crust, your coffee maker takes forever and gives back half a pot, and you've already been pricing a new one. Don't. After thirty years cleaning at a hospital — where the break room coffee maker never got a night off — Dorothy Mays knows that machine isn't dying, it's choking on the rock your water left behind. In this video she shows you the dollar fix: the half-vinegar boil and the overnight soak for the kettle, the stop-the-brew-in-the-middle trick that makes the coffee maker descale itself, the real wash that gets the rancid coffee oil out of your carafe, the hidden spray plate that makes coffee brew weak and crooked, and why the fancy descaling bottle is a four-dollar bag of citric acid dressed up at ten times the price. No products to buy. Just vinegar, time, and thirty years of knowing where the dirt hides. Disclaimer: This video is for general home-cleaning information only. Always unplug appliances before cleaning and never submerge electrical parts in water. Use only vinegar or citric acid in the water path of kettles and coffee makers, and rinse thoroughly before use. Never mix cleaning products, and always read and follow the safety directions on any product label.
