I use cane vinegar (any brand will do) to remove sediments from our electric airpot. Here’s how:
1. Empty contents of your airpots/kettle.
2. Pour water in the pot and add a dose of vinegar.
(Proportion: ¼ vinegar for every 1 liter of water)
3. Set airpots/kettle to boil. Simmer for a few minutes.
4. Let it cool. You may also leave the solution overnight.
5. Pour out the mixture. Wash and rinse your kettle/airpot repeatedly to your satisfaction.
Viola! Gone are the whitish mineral deposits that has gahered in the surface.
Works wonders. Try this and you’ll see.
I have also read somewhere that calamansi or lemon will do the trick but I have yet to try this. You may opt for this and then let’s compare notes.
If I am MIA here, I might be tapping the keyboard at MaKiMeJi. Come join us there.

Vinegar is a wonderful cleaner. Thanks for the tip!
wow, thanks! I bet it would work on the coffee pot too.
Neat! Any ideas for cleaning the exterior? Maybe soaking them in a pot of vinegar and water? or wiping them with warm vinegar/water? Grease splatter on my tea pot urks me ;-)
HowToMe: Yup, I read warm to hot vinegar + water solution can cut grease too. Or warm baking soda + lemon juice + soapy water solution may just be as useful..I have not tried it though.
