How to remove scale

In life, we often encounter a problem that there will be a lot of scale in the kettle after using it for a long time. These scales are difficult to clean in the kettle for a long time, but if they are not cleaned and continue to be used, it will affect the quality of the water. If the quality of the boiled water is not up to standard, it will be harmful to the human body if it is consumed for a long time, so it is necessary to remove the scale.

The main reason why scale exists is that some trace elements in the water react chemically with the kettle during the boiling process, thus producing scale. Therefore, scale is not as easy to remove as ordinary dust.

White vinegar descaling method: Pour white vinegar and water into the kettle in a ratio of 1:2 (250 ml of white vinegar is enough, which means half a bottle of white vinegar bought from the supermarket is enough for one use.) Turn off the power after boiling. Soak for 2 more hours. If it is a stainless steel electric kettle, it is best to use this method before going to bed at night. After boiling, you can leave it to soak overnight and pour out the vinegar water in the morning. After rinsing it with clean water several times, the kettle is completely clean. If you have an aluminum kettle at home, boil the vinegar solution and let it sit for 1 to 2 hours before cleaning it.

Alkaline liquid descaling method: If the main component of scale is calcium sulfate, then pour pure alkaline solution into the kettle and boil it. After leaving it for two hours, the scale can be removed. Then, rinse the kettle with clean water several times.

Soda descaling method: Fill the kettle with water, add a little baking soda, and boil it. After a few minutes, the scale will fall off automatically. Rinse the kettle several times with clean water to make it completely clean.

Descaling method: Boil 3 to 5 potatoes in a kettle for a few hours, and the scale will fall off in pieces. Then, rinse it with clean water.

The above-mentioned methods of removing scale can effectively help many families solve the problem. Generally speaking, we don’t have a good economy to replace the kettle once it is scaled, so we must learn to use these daily necessities in life skillfully. Learning to use these daily necessities can help solve many small problems in life.
