What are the methods for removing scale

I believe that everyone who is careful in daily life will find that if you use a teapot to boil water, some scale will appear over time. Therefore, many friends often clean it after a period of time to prevent the appearance of scale. This is better, but some friends don’t pay much attention to this in their lives. Over time, a thick layer of scale accumulates on the kettle. So what are the methods to remove scale?

1. Use 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.

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

3. Use potato peels to remove scale. 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.

4. Remove scale 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 is heard from 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 pour 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.

5. Use vinegar to remove scale. If there is scale in the kettle, put a few spoons of vinegar into the water and boil it for an hour or two, 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.

6. The mask prevents scale accumulation. Put a clean mask in the kettle, and the scale will be absorbed by the mask when the water is boiling.

The above is an introduction to the methods of removing scale. I believe that everyone should now have a certain understanding of removing scale. If you encounter this problem in your life, you can use the methods introduced above to deal with it. In fact, there are many little tricks in our lives. I hope everyone can learn more about it.
