How to remove scale from the bottom of the pot

Scale is a problem that troubles many people. After all, if the heavy metals in the scale are ingested for a long time, it will have a significant impact on human health. Therefore, after discovering scale in your pot, you must take certain measures to remove it. There are many methods of removing scale that are popular among the people. Here, we will introduce to you some relatively simple and effective ways to remove scale!

1. Descaling the kettle by boiling sweet potatoes

Put more than half of the kettle's capacity of sweet potatoes in a new kettle, fill it with water, and cook the sweet potatoes. Next time you boil water, there will be no scale accumulation. But be careful not to scrub the inner wall of the kettle after boiling sweet potatoes, otherwise the descaling effect will be lost. For old kettles that are full of scale, after boiling them once or twice using the above method, not only will the original scale gradually fall off, but it will also prevent scale from accumulating again.

2. Baking soda to remove scale

When boiling water in an aluminum kettle with scale, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda, boil it for a few minutes and the scale will be removed.

3. Boil eggs to remove scale

The scale on the kettle that is used for boiling water becomes hard and difficult to remove after being used for a long time. If you use it to boil eggs twice, you will get the desired effect.

4. Descaling with potato peels

After using an aluminum kettle or pot for a period of time, a thin layer of scale will form. Put the potato peels in it, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes before removing them.

5. Descaling by thermal expansion and contraction

Place the empty kettle on the stove to dry out the moisture in the scale. When cracks appear on the bottom of the kettle or a "bang" sound appears on the bottom of the kettle, remove the kettle and quickly pour in cold water. Or wrap the handle and spout with a rag, hold it with both hands, and quickly place the dried kettle in cold water (do not let water flow into the kettle). Repeat 2 to 3 times and the scale on the bottom of the pot will fall off due to thermal expansion and contraction.

6. Use vinegar to remove scale

If there is scale in the kettle, put some vinegar into the water and boil it for one or two hours, and the scale will be removed. If the main component of scale is calcium sulfate, you can pour pure alkaline solution into the kettle and boil it to remove the scale.

7. Masks to prevent scale accumulation

Put a clean mask in the kettle. When the water is boiling, the scale will be absorbed by the mask.

8. Magnetization

Putting a magnet in the kettle not only prevents scale accumulation, but also magnetizes the boiled water, which also has the effect of preventing and treating constipation and pharyngitis.
