How to remove scale

Although there are many ways to remove scale, you also need to understand that not all methods can make you see the results. Sometimes some of the methods you use may themselves have some impact on the items containing scale. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to and understand some relatively safe and effective removal methods, such as the methods recommended below.

Thermal expansion and contraction descaling method

Put 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 flow 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.

Descaling a kettle by boiling yams

Put more than half a kettle full of sweet potatoes, fill it with water, and cook the sweet potatoes. Then when you boil water later, 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.

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.

Boil eggs to remove scale: The scale accumulated in a kettle 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.

Using potato peels to remove scale: After using aluminum kettles or pots 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.

In fact, through the above introduction, we will find that the removal of scale is often just a matter of some small tricks in life. I believe everyone has come into contact with the baking soda and potatoes that I introduced to you in your life, but few people realize that they are actually the biggest helpers in removing scale.
