The household electric kettle will produce a thick layer of scale when it is used for a long time. This layer of scale is a mixture of insoluble compounds and impurities. If it is not cleaned out and often drunk, it will do great harm to human body. Then I will teach you a few ways to remove the scale, hoping to help you.
1. Scale removal of edible vinegar
This method is the simplest and most practical one. As we all know, the main component of scale is calcium carbonate. The acetic acid in vinegar will react with it and produce substances, minerals and carbon dioxide gas soluble in water. Generally, white vinegar can be bought in supermarkets and put into 10% of the scale of kettle, Then fill it with water, boil it for about an hour, and then brush it. It's OK to use vinegar, but the effect of vinegar is not as good as that of white vinegar.
2. Lemon scale removal
Lemon contains citric acid, which is a weak acid, non-toxic. The main component of scale is carbonate. At high temperature, citric acid reacts with it, and scale will dissolve in acid. 'a lemon contains less citric acid, so the removal effect of stubborn scale is not ideal. When the citric acid content is sufficient, the higher the temperature, the greater the solubility of scale.
3. Descaling with baking soda
Generally, the heating plate of electric kettle is made of aluminum. We can put 1 teaspoon of baking soda on it and boil it for a few minutes. The scale will be removed. Or you can pour about 500g of 1% sodium bicarbonate water, shake it gently, and the scale can be removed.
4. Boil eggs to remove scale
Break the two eggshells slightly, put them into the bottle, then put them into half a pot of water, stir them with a blender or spoon, then boil them, place them for about half an hour, pour out the eggshells, and then rinse them with water twice.
5. Scale removal of potato skin
Put the potato skin in it, add some water, boil, boil for about 10 minutes to remove the scale from the electric kettle.
6. Descaling with Taro
In the new kettle, put more than half of the taro in the kettle, fill it with water, boil the taro, and then boil the water, there will be no water and dirt. But we should pay attention to the inner wall of the pot after cooking, do not scrub, otherwise it will lose the function of descaling. For the old kettle which is full of scale, after boiling it for one or two times with the above method, not only the original scale will gradually fall off, but also it can prevent the scale from accumulating again.
7 formation of magnet waterproof scale
Because the water quality of tap water is hard, and the magnetization of magnet can soften the water, thus eliminating the generation of scale. Put a magnet in the pot, not only does not scale, boiled water is magnetized, but also has the function of preventing constipation and laryngitis.
Descaling of loofah pulp
Loofah pulp can not only brush bowl but also remove scale. The loofah pulp has a fiber network structure, which is hard to tear and break. The hollow loofah pulp is flexible when it is pinched by hand and has strong ability to absorb stains. When boiling water, as long as the loofah pulp is put into the kettle, there will be no scale in the kettle. But the loofah pulp should be replaced regularly.
