How to remove scale

In fact, there are many ways to remove scale. What everyone knows is the use of scale removers, because we all know that using these products can quickly achieve results, but some people worry that this will damage the products themselves, so here we still recommend some relatively scientific and effective scale removal methods.

1. Use vinegar to remove scale: As we all know, the main component of scale is carbonate such as calcium carbonate. The acetic acid in vinegar will react with it to produce water-soluble minerals and carbon dioxide gas. White vinegar can be bought in general supermarkets. Put 10% of white vinegar into the kettle scale, then fill it with water, boil it and let it sit for about an hour, then brush it. Aged vinegar can also be used, but the effect of aged vinegar is not as good as white vinegar.

2. Descale the electric kettle by boiling sweet potatoes: Put more than half of the sweet potatoes in the kettle, fill it with water, and cook the potatoes. Then, when you boil water next time, 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.

3. Use baking soda to remove scale: Generally, the heating plate of electric kettles is made of aluminum. When boiling water in the electric kettle, scale is easily formed. Generally, we can put 1 teaspoon of baking soda and boil it for a few minutes to remove the scale. Alternatively, you can pour in about 500 grams of 1% baking soda water, shake it gently, and the scale can be removed.

Following the methods and techniques recommended above, you can achieve good results in solving some scale problems. So when facing this situation, you must pay attention to these methods and techniques, because this will save you a lot of time and make our lives easier.
