Hi, we use a borehole which gives us 'hard' (more like harsh) water. The kettle we use to boil water for various uses keeps having sedimentation-whitish. How can i get rid of this?
....above all, to stand.

Go to Nakumatt and buy a plastic descaler. This will not only sort out your kettle but also toilet bowls (the browning marks) and also iron box.
