Descaling electric kettle

As for how to use the electric kettle, the electric kettle is also a common electrical appliance in our daily life. The electric kettle is mainly used to boil water, but over time, it is not safely protected in daily life. There are many types of electric kettles. When purchasing an electric kettle, it is easy to produce some scale. At the same time, many housewives are very annoyed by the scale, and it is also very easy to remove. As long as you master the method, the scale on the electric kettle is also very easy to remove.

The scale on the electric kettle is mainly the residue of some oil and water quality left over from boiling water for a long time. The scale must be cleaned in time, otherwise it will cause malfunction of the electric kettle and other problems. Here is a brief introduction on how to remove scale from an electric kettle.

1. Descaling with vinegar

This method is the simplest and most practical method. 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. 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.

The above is how to remove scale from electric kettles. There are mainly three common methods of removing scale from the above three products, and scale can be removed with descaling and baking soda. It is generally a longer method and the water level is very high. We can take such a method, and it can be of great help in daily life. Therefore, we must pay attention to the cleaning of the electric kettle in daily life, otherwise it will affect the use of the electric kettle.
