Any ideas?

Abbby, this is what I use. Been using it for 50 years. It's been available over here for a while now but not that well known. Give it a try. Can get in on Lazada (which I just found out!

Great! Thanks for the link, glad lazada has it.

Can it be used inside the kettle?

It's similar to using Cif or any other type of strong cleanser. Just wash it out with normal dish detergent and you are good to go. Can also just boil a pot a water and drain it if still cautious about residue. But seriously, no issues with it at all. This one is nasty looking as it's been under the kitchen sink for ages. But well used and due to be replaced!

Great thanks!

Alternatively, try using baking soda and vinegar. Mix into a thick paste, and scrub on with a toothbrush.

There's the big difference between homegrown remedies and Bar Keeper's Friend. This stuff is A number 1 at removing rust, with very little elbow grease. Absolutely excellent on stainless steel. Not gritty and abrasive like Ajax or similar.

If BKF won't take it off, you probably need a wire brush.

Wire brushes work great, but they are incredibly abrasive and leave tons of scratches on metal.
