Our old faithful steriliser hasn’t been running as well as normal and we decided to look into a replacement. We probably shouldn’t have and should instead have looked into renewing our old with some descaler. I’ve descaled it before, but it’s a mucky job and it has to be done very often as we live in an area frought with hard water.
Today we bought a secondhand steriliser. Sold, supposedily in perfect working order. My foot.
It’s element was thick with brown limescale. I should have looked instead of going off the words of the seller and being bright-shinyed with lust of a newer and better steriliser.
So far, I have done three cycles of descaler and I’m no closer to seeing an element.
Some random information from the internet:
a cup of white vinegar and half a lemon sliced up, give it a cycle and leave over night
