I noticed this morning that not only do I use fresh water every time, I also rinse the kettle out as well.
I had a bad experience with a boiled spider once. I always empty my kettle into the dog bowl so she gets clean water. Then check kettle for visitors. I only boil enough for what I need and a bit extra for evaporation.
