How to clean a kettle

People have relatively high requirements for food hygiene, because if the food is not clean it will directly lead to diarrhea, and some will even have an impact on physical health. Experts recommend that people drink eight glasses of water a day to replenish the water needed by the body in a day. Boiled water is people's first choice. If you often use a kettle to boil water, water rust may occur. How to clean the kettle?

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.

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.

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.

Generally, electric kettles will accumulate hard and difficult-to-remove scale after being used for a long time. If you use it to boil eggs twice, you will get the desired effect. Crush two egg shells slightly, put them in a bottle, then fill half a pot of water, stir with a blender or spoon, then boil it, let it sit for about half an hour, pour out the egg shells, and rinse it twice with clean water. 5. Citric acid descaling is the most effective method. Electric kettles are appliances for boiling water. After using them for a long time, more or less scale will be formed. The formation of scale is mainly due to the precipitation of calcium in tap water. If you always use purified water to boil water, there will be no scale. In addition to vinegar and baking soda, there is another very useful and clean method for descaling, which is citric acid. There are two types of citric acid, one is for industrial use and the other is a food additive, but it is best to use edible grade citric acid to descaling. The method of use is also very simple. First put a teaspoon of citric acid in the electric kettle, then add clean water to the highest water level of the electric kettle, boil it, and soak it for half an hour to an hour to remove the scale. If there is not much scale, the scale will basically disappear after boiling. This descaling method is safe and hygienic, and you can drink purer boiled water immediately.

If you clean the scale inside the stainless steel electric kettle, you can always use your own stainless steel electric kettle to drink clean and healthy water. This shows the importance of removing scale. I hope that the scale removal method introduced by the editor will help you clean your own stainless steel electric kettle.
