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.

@Njunge. Was thinking the same. I guess he or she meant fluorides. One question though, why only kids under 8 years ? and when salt-laden borehole water is used for cooking, are the browning effects chocked? I'm guessting its impractical and impossible to use bottled water for cooking

Cooking actually doesn't take much water. We don't use much to cook. So we just add a little to the drinking water budget.
Sasa hii 'Plastic descaler' ni nini jameni?

Its because at 8 years, all the teeth are already formed.
