White vinegar is a common condiment at home, but its function can be more than seasoning. Because white vinegar is acidic and naturally corrosive, we can get good results by cleaning scale with it. In addition, white vinegar also has the function of sterilization and disinfection, which can ensure the health when boiling water.

When we use white vinegar to remove scale, we only need to add some water, and then boil it in the usual way, and the scale will slowly dissolve and fall off in it.

2.baking soda

Since we talk about white vinegar, we can't help but mention baking soda. Baking soda is a good cleaning product at home. Because it is a strong alkaline substance, it can react with the scale in the kettle when used, and then it can play a cleaning role.

The method of descaling with baking soda is similar to that of white vinegar, that is, dissolving baking soda in water and then boiling it in an electric kettle. The simple effect is still very good!

potato

The above two cleaning methods are very effective for electric kettle with thick scale, but if the scale of kettle at home is thin, we can use potato cleaning method. We know that potatoes contain enough starch, which can be effectively peeled off when cleaning the scale.

We cut the potatoes into thin slices, then put them in an electric kettle and add water to boil, so that the starch in the potatoes will slowly react with the scale and play a cleaning role.
