How to remove scale from an electric kettle

Don’t think that you don’t need to worry about the cleanliness of the electric kettle because you use it every day and water flows through it over and over again. In fact, if the electric kettle is used for a long time, the dirt hidden in it will also affect our health. Therefore, we will now introduce to you in detail some effective methods to remove scale from the electric kettle. We hope that you can effectively remove scale through these methods.

Lemon descaling method

Cut a lemon into pieces, put it in the kettle, boil it and soak it for a while, and the scale can be easily removed. Supermarkets also sell special descaling cleaners, the main ingredient of which is citric acid, and has the same effect as lemon.

Descaling by boiling sweet potatoes

Put more than half of the sweet potatoes in a new kettle, 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.

Descaling with baking soda

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.

Descaling with boiled eggs

The scale on the kettle that is used for boiling water becomes 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.

Descaling with potato peels

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.

The above are some methods that can effectively help you remove scale in electric kettles. I believe that after understanding these methods, when you encounter the problem of scale in electric kettles in your life, you can effectively remove and solve it. After all, this is also related to our drinking water and physical health.
