Can soaking in vinegar remove scale?

Although when it comes to removing scale, many people have their own methods, but we all know that in order to achieve the best removal effect, the method you use must be safe and correct. Now many people use vinegar to remove scale, so is this method effective? Below we will introduce to you the effective method of removing scale by soaking in vinegar.

Yes, but it will take longer to soak!

Pour some vinegar into the kettle and scrub gently with a soft-bristled brush, making sure the vinegar is in full contact with the rust. If there is still some stubborn rust, add some hot water and continue scrubbing. After the rust disappears completely, rinse with clean water.

The main component of rust is calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water, so it will form on the wall of the bottle. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which can react with calcium carbonate to form salt that is soluble in water, so it can be washed off.

But since acetic acid is a weak acid, the effect will not be immediate, so you need to use tools, such as a brush, or add hot water to promote the reaction.

Detergents and washing powder are alkaline and cannot react with calcium carbonate, so they are ineffective and may harm the skin.

Vinegar is a very weak acid and has been diluted a lot, so break two or three egg shells into small pieces and put them into the thermos. Then pour in half a bottle of hot water, cover the bottle with a stopper, and shake it up and down for a while to remove the scale.

Put some small pieces of glue in the thermos, then pour in boiling water, and the water can be removed after shaking.

In addition, you can also put 1 tablespoon of salt into the thermos, fill it with hot water, soak it for 10 minutes, and then rinse it with hot water. The inside of the bottle will be as bright as new.

You can also use two pieces of toilet paper of different lengths, crumple them into two paper balls slightly smaller than ping-pong balls, put them into a thermos full of scale and filled with clean hot water, then add a little cold water, cover with a soft cork, hold the bottom of the bottle horizontally with one hand and the mouth of the bottle with the other hand, shake it left and right for 2 minutes. Then, open the lid, rinse the paper foam in the bottle with cold water, and all the scale in the bottle will be removed.

No one can ignore the scale problem, because the long-term existence of scale will have an invisible impact on our lives and health. Therefore, for the sake of health, everyone should pay more attention to the correct methods of removing scale. No matter where the scale is, it should be cleaned in time.
