What's the matter with excessive urine scale

Urine scale is actually a kind of sediment produced by changes in the acidity and alkalinity of urine. The main components of urine scale are calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate. Therefore, in daily life, when using the bathroom or toilet, you must also pay attention to flushing it clean.

1. When human urine is left for a long time, the acidity and alkalinity of urine change and precipitate is produced. Human urine is mostly acidic, but because the urea in it (the action of urease) gradually decomposes to produce ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, the acidity of urine changes from neutral to alkaline, so precipitation is produced accordingly. Uric acid, urate, calcium sulfate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, and sometimes several amino acids are precipitated in an acidic environment; calcium carbonate, ammonium magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, ammonium urate, calcium oxalate, etc. are precipitated in an alkaline environment. Therefore, the composition of human urine precipitate is complex, but the main components are calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate?

2. Oxalic acid is the first choice for scrubbing. (It is better than other strong acids and does not damage the protective film of the toilet bowl.) You can directly sprinkle oxalic acid on the place with urine scale, because oxalic acid is a small solid particle, a weak acid, and not too corrosive to the human body (but for the sake of habit, it is best to wear rubber gloves when cleaning to protect our skin), then scrub it clean with a brush and rinse it with water.

3. The second is hydrochloric acid, but it is a strong acid. If oxalic acid does not work, you can also use hydrochloric acid with caution (but be careful not to contact the human body. As long as you pay attention to protection, there will be absolutely no problem). For so many years, I have been dealing with it this way, and the effect is very good.
