How can the scale in an electric kettle be removed
Almost every household needs to use boiling waterElectric kettleHowever, the bottom of an electric kettle is prone to scale after prolonged use. How can I clean the hard and thick scale? Now let's talk about it for everyone.
We need to prepare eggshells and white vinegar.
The eggshell thrown away from eating eggs can be left behind and plays a crucial role in removing scale. White vinegar is used to soften scale. If there is no white vinegar at home, there is no need to add it.
Add tap water and fill about half of the pot.
Heat the kettle, please note that the water does not need to be boiled, as long as you feel the air coming out during heating, you can unplug the power supply.
Then we pour out the white vinegar and eggshell residue inside. Take a cloth and put it in to wipe the pot a few times.
At this point, you can see that the bottom of the kettle becomes clean, bright, and very powerful.
The scale of an electric kettle is essentially insoluble calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, which can be dissolved with acid, such as citric acid in lemons or edible white vinegar; Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and sodium bicarbonate can also react with scale; Eggshell can also remove scale by rubbing against the wall of an electric kettle cup.
FemaleMany people do not pay enough attention to the scale in electric kettles and believe it is not a big deal. However, the scale in electric kettles is not treated in a timely manner, and long-term cooking with it can cause great harm:
1. The fragmentation of scale reacts with hydrochloric acid in the human body, forming calcium and magnesium ions and carbon dioxide, leading to bloating and even stones.
2. If scale remains in the medium for a long time, it will adsorb a large amount of metal ions. If you use a kettle to boil water for a long time, it may threaten drinking metal ions.
3. If the scale inside the electric kettle is adhered to the wall for a long time, it will endanger the safety of the thermal equipment.
