How to quickly remove kettle scale?

Water is the source of life. People must drink a certain amount of water every day to maintain life metabolism. The water reserves in nature are very large, but drinking it directly will pose certain risks to health. Therefore, most people are accustomed to boiling water to kill bacteria and viruses and make the water safer. Frequent use of a kettle to boil water will cause very thick scale to accumulate inside the kettle. This substance will seriously affect the thermal conductivity of the kettle and increase the mineral content in the water, posing a risk of stones after drinking. Therefore, used kettles should be descaled regularly. Let’s take a look at how to quickly remove scale from a kettle.

1. Potato peel descaling method: After using aluminum kettles and aluminum pots for a period of time, a thin layer of scale will form on the surface. Put potato peels inside, add appropriate amount of water and boil it. Cook for about 10 minutes and the scale will be removed.

2. Vinegar descaling method: If there is alkaline in the kettle, you can put a few drops of vinegar in the water and then boil it to remove the alkaline.

3. Mask to prevent scale accumulation method: Put a clean mask in the kettle. When boiling water, scale will be absorbed by the mask and will not form in the kettle. After a period of time, just replace the mask.

4. Baking soda scale removal method: When boiling water in an aluminum kettle, add a small spoonful of baking soda and boil it for a few minutes, and the scale can be removed.

5. Using eggs to remove scale: If you use a kettle that has been used for a long time to boil eggs twice, the scale on the wall of the kettle will be removed.

6. To prevent scale by boiling sweet potatoes in a kettle, put more than half a kettle of sweet potatoes in a new kettle, fill it with water, and cook the sweet potatoes. Then, when you boil water in the future, scale will not accumulate. After boiling sweet potatoes in the kettle, do not scrub the inner wall, otherwise it will lose its anti-scale effect. For old kettles that are full of scale, after boiling sweet potatoes 1 to 2 times using the above method, not only will the original scale gradually fall off, but it will also prevent scale from accumulating again.

7. Descaling by thermal expansion and contraction: Place the empty kettle on the stove and burn it until the water in the scale is dried up. When you see cracks in the scale at the bottom of the kettle or a "bang" sound at the bottom of the kettle, remove the kettle and quickly pour in cold water, or quickly place the dried kettle in cold water (do not let water enter the kettle). Both of the above methods need to be repeated 2 to 3 times, and the scale at the bottom of the kettle will fall off due to thermal expansion and contraction.
