Caring for your kettle

  • Do:

    • Keep water level just below the centre seam

    • Hand wash only and dry with a soft cloth

    • Clean copper kettles with a good copper cleaner such as Brasso or Hagerty metal polish. Remember to polish the compound well, and do not allow it to build up around the handle and nuts

    • Use filtered water, particularly in hard water areas

    • Empty any left over water after boiling and wipe the inside dry to prevent calcium (limescale) build up

    • Copper is an exceptional material in the kitchen and, when maintained properly, should give you many years of service

    Do Not:

    • Leave water in the kettle overnight

    • Put your kettle in a dishwasher

    • Let the Simplex tea kettle boil dry

    • Clean with any acidic cleaning agents

    • Scrub with steel wool or abrasive cleaning cloths/brushes or pads as this can lead to irreparable damage
