Vinegar can be used to descale the kettle as well as the shower and other surfaces. You can begin with covering the element with it and boil which will help clean the bad surfaces. 

Olive Oil?

Any type of unflavoured olive oil will do for the job and the properties are incredible. Daba a little onto a cloth, polish gently over the surface and leave it to dry for a while. You can also add a little lemon juice over also which will cleanse further and leave it smelling great.  One squeeze of lemon for each quarter of a cup can be the best option.

Castile soap?

Castile soap can be used as laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, floor cleaning alternatives or even for your hair! The floors of your house are going to be very important to keep clean, so for this alone, take 1/4 cup of vinegar to your bucket of hot water and a generous squeeze of castile soap. 

Tea Tree Oil? 

To get rid of pesky mould and mildew (in older houses this will be more prevalent), you can fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and add a few drops of tea tree oil to the mix. Leave it to infuse, spritz it around and cleanse with warm water and cloth.
