Electric kettle is a common small household appliance in the kitchen. It only takes a few minutes to boil water with it, which greatly facilitates people's lives. However, if the electric kettle is used for a long time, thin scale will accumulate on its inner wall, which will lead to slow boiling speed and unhealthy, so we must find ways to remove the scale.

My kettle is our daily necessities. But after using it for a long time, there will be a lot of scale inside the kettle, which is difficult to remove. One day, I saw a friend share a very magical cleaning method, that is, cleaning the kettle with coke. I'm surprised that coke still has this function. So, I decided to try this method. First, I wipe the scale inside the kettle with a paper towel. Then I pour the coke into the kettle and heat it for 3 minutes. I'll just turn it off and pour coke when it gets cold. Finally, I washed it again with clear water and found that the scale in the kettle was basically removed.

So today I'm going to teach you three other tips to remove the scale from the electric kettle. Let's take a closer look.

First, remove the scale with white vinegar.

We all know that white vinegar is a good condiment, but what many people don't know is that white vinegar is also a good detergent. This is because scale is alkaline, while white vinegar is acidic. Removing scale with white vinegar is the application of the principle of acid-base neutralization. The specific operation is: first, everyone mixes white vinegar and water in a ratio of 5:5, then puts it on the stove to boil, and then pours it into an electric kettle to soak it overnight. The next morning, brush the scale clean, and it will be basically ok.

Second, use baking soda to remove dirt.

Baking soda is a common artifact in kitchen. People can not only use it to wash vegetables and meat, but also remove scale.

The specific method is: first wipe off some scales that are easy to remove with paper towels, then pour baking soda into the electric kettle and add water to boil. When it boils, leave it alone and leave it overnight. The next day, pour the water out of the kettle and rinse it with clear water, and the scale will be basically cleaned.

Third, lemonade should be scaled up.

Go to the supermarket to buy a lemon, cut it into thin slices, throw it into an electric kettle, and then add a proper amount of water to boil it, because lemon is also an acidic substance. In particular, citric acid, which is rich in lemon, has a particularly good effect of removing dirt. Lemon can not only remove dirt, but also has a very good function, that is, it can clean up the odor in the kettle. Because the smell of lemon is particularly strong, these smells will volatilize during heating, which will bring out the odor in the kettle, so you don't have to worry about the odor when drinking hot water in the future.

The above methods can well remove the scale of electric kettle. You can try anything.
