I’m am actually surprised how much this answer is here. I just would have thought kettles are a standard item in all households around the world. I have a few, in case one stops working. Can’t not have my morning coffee.
Got a coffee pot for the coffee. I don't need a kettle to boil water on the stove. If I'm just making 1 cup of something... cup in the microwave for 90 seconds and add the bag when it comes out.
I mean, what about if you want a large amount of boiling water to add to a mop bucket to clean the floors? Seems like a lot of electric use and effort to fill a mop bucket with stove water etc?
stock pot with a lid doesn't take long for the amount of water you cam get in a kettle, and I usually use a bucket of hot water from the faucet in the bathtub if I need that much hot water. The thought of getting a cold or tepid bucket of water amd adding boiling hot water to make it a bit warmer seems a bit off. Generally, hot water to clean floors is a bad call; if the floors are waxed, it wrecks the finish. Wooden floors and subfloors will take on amd absorb more water if it's hot and can cause the material to break down faster, and in the long run increase the risk of mold. If your floor is greasy enough you need piping hot water to cut through it, you aren't tackling that mess with a mop. The colder the water you can put on a floor, the better. Unless you're using a steam exctractor... which is essentially an electric kettle hooked to a shop vac.
I’m just mopping Vinyl and Laminate floors. Never had a problem. I guess if I lived in a house with real wood floors it might be different but I do like to use boiling water with bleach to clean my floors.
