Care
Maintaining your Swan Serenity Kettle will ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For the contemporary matt finish, avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers, as these can damage the surface. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Interior Cleaning: Periodically rinse the interior with fresh water. For stubborn deposits, especially around the heating element, a soft brush can be used.
- Descaling: Hard water areas will experience limescale build-up. Descale your kettle regularly (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly) using a commercial kettle descaler, white vinegar solution (half white vinegar, half water), or lemon juice. Follow the descaler's instructions or boil the solution, let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly multiple times to remove any residue and smell.
