A roommate once descale our kettle with vinegar … it wasn’t usable for days. But he learned his lessen after we made him taste a cup-a-soup from it right after.
Because the taste sticks around forever. A “few times” won’t remove it. You have to rinse it dozens of times and at that point you’re just wasting water and putting the limescale back in.
I’m not a vinegar expert. Just use citric acid or lemon juice. It just as acidic and works great, most households have it and it won’t even stink up the kitchen.
