Scale is common at home, such as in the electric kettle, and then in some cups, sinks, there may be scale deposits, for the cleaning of these scales may be more time-consuming, the longer the scale exists, the thicker it is, the more difficult it is to clean, today's article will give you some suitable methods to clean these scale.
The main component of scale is calcium and magnesium ions, which are mainly formed by the filtration of groundwater in underground rock formations. The scale is reflected in the water quality index by the hardness, and the national standard stipulates that the hardness of drinking groundwater does not exceed 1000 milligrams of liters (the standard for tap water is 450 milligrams of liters). When the calcium and magnesium ions in the water exceed 60 milligrams and the water temperature exceeds 80 degrees, the calcium and magnesium ions are precipitated from the water as crystalline particles and firmly adhere to the metal surface to form a white precipitate, that is, scale.
Electric kettle is one of the most common daily necessities in us, but many people will find that after a long period of use, a layer of white substance often forms inside the electric kettle, and this is limescale. If left untreated, it will affect the water quality and can also damage the electric heating pipes. Some experts say that scale can easily cause gastrointestinal digestion and absorption disorders, as well as urinary system diseases, such as constipation.
How to remove limescale].
I have seen many Internet celebrity bloggers pushing citric acid descaler, which is not only practical, but also cheap, and a large bottle is also food-grade citric acid. Compared to other chemical detergents, its safety is satisfactory!
Use it to make your own glass cleaner, and no matter how difficult the glass is, you can use it to clean it. It's as easy as adding 500ml of hot water to a watering can, scooping in two spoonfuls of citric acid, and when it's cooled, you'll have a bottle of glass cleaner.
Because dust, scale, and water stains are all alkaline, with acidic citric acid, it can play an acid-base chemical reaction and dissolve water stains and scale. Therefore, spray some on the glass and wipe it with a rag to wipe the glass as bright as new.
And its biggest advantage is that it is safe, citric acid is found in plants and fruits, and citric acid is also used in some food additives. It may not be good to use at first, because it is gentler than some strong acid scale removers, so the results are not immediate.
But it is precisely gentle so that it does not volatilize harmful gases during use. Although the scale removal is a little slower, it will not be too slow, spray it on the glass, shower head, faucet, bathroom corner and other areas with scale, let it stand for about 10 minutes, and then wipe it with a fish scale cloth to easily remove the scale.
In fact, many descalers react quickly and have high cleaning efficiency, but they will volatilize harsh and pungent gases when used.
Citric acid because of its safety, can also be used to remove the scale at the bottom of the kettle, add citric acid powder to the water and then boil, after pouring off the boiling water, you can see that the scale at the bottom of the kettle is automatically removed, this is because the scale is alkaline, and the acid-base reaction dissolves it.
You can see that the effect of citric acid descaler after use is really amazing, no matter how serious the scale can be removed!
With it, all kinds of glass and mirrors at home are free of water stains and scale, and life is more and more comfortable. For housewives who are busy with housework, citric acid descaler is really useful!
Household citric acid descaler, be sure to look for "food grade"!
Only this citric acid is safe enough. It is used to clean tableware and kitchenware, so that it is more assured.
