What are the methods to remove scale from a kettle

A kettle is a particularly convenient hot water appliance in our daily life. It can provide everyone with safe, healthy and fast drinking water. It is also a tool for boiling water quickly. However, after using it for a long time, we will find that there is a thick layer of scale on the kettle. If it is not cleaned in time, it will affect the quality of the water. So, what are the methods to remove scale from the kettle? Let’s take a look below.

1. Descaling with potato peels

After using an aluminum kettle or pot for a period of time, a thin layer of scale will form. Put potato peels in it, add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes to remove the scale.

2. Descaling the electric kettle by boiling sweet potatoes

In a new room, put more than half a kettle of sweet potatoes, fill it with water, and cook the sweet potatoes. 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. 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.

Through the above introduction, we now know how to remove scale in normal times. Water is something we use every day, so the quality of water is closely related to our health. When scale appears, we must remove it in time. This will also affect the quality of hot water, which requires our attention.
