What are the main components of scale

The main components of scale are calcium carbonate, heavy metal elements, and some carcinogens. Therefore, we all know that scale can actually have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, we should pay attention to understanding the correct method of removing scale in our lives.

The main components of scale are calcium carbonate, heavy metal elements and carcinogen nitrite, which are very harmful to human health.

① Descaling the kettle by boiling sweet potatoes: Put more than half a kettle full of sweet potatoes, 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 Use baking soda to remove scale. When boiling water in an aluminum kettle with scale, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and boil it for a few minutes to remove the scale.

③Boil eggs to remove scale. The scale on the kettle that boils water will become 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 Use potato peels to remove scale. After using an aluminum kettle or aluminum 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 Remove scale due to thermal expansion and contraction. Place the empty kettle on the stove and dry the moisture in the scale. When cracks appear on the bottom of the kettle or a "bang" sound is heard at 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 Remove scale with vinegar. 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 boiling water, scale will be absorbed by the mask.
