Say, citric acid helps clean the kettle from scale. Is this true? To understand this, you need to understand that such a scale, and why it must be fought.
Scale - a white lime, which is formed on the walls and bottom of the usual kettle, as well as an electric heating element. It appears because of salts contained in water. As you know, in Russia in general water is hard (ie, it has a lot of salts), and so our kettles are subject to rapid formation of scale.
Underestimate the harm scale difficult. Firstly, it has minimal heat in comparison with steel - steel kettle heating elements manufactured. Therefore, the formation of the scale layer heating element begins to suffer from the thermal resistance arising repeatedly, which in turn leads to premature failure.
Second, scale, ranked in our body, can harm the kidneys and urinary system.
In order to remove scale, invented a lot of ways, ranging from boiling the kettle type drinks Coca-Cola or Sprite and ending with repeated boiling potato peelings in the affected teapot. Of course, do not forget about the craftsmen and hard metal brushes and brushes.
You can, of course, still go to the store, but there is nobody will give you assurance that the chemical agent 100% remove scum. You may also experience fear of injury from such funds. But early to despair. Yet there is a harmless, effective and pleasant-smelling agent. This agent - citric acid.
To clean the kettle citric acid you need only one of its packet. Scale - this formation of alkali, so acid - the only effective means of fighting against them. In our case, acid food, which is important.
Take a packet of citric acid and pour into the kettle. Then type in the kettle a moderate amount of water and leave to stand for a reason. In no case can the water be boiled with acid. Chemical reaction will begin at normal room temperature.
The average thickness of scale layer is dissolved in 10 minutes, literally before your eyes. And you wonder how a spiral or heating disk shine like new again. And if you have a simple tea, then you surprise him clean the sides and bottom.
Waste water must be drained, and then 2 times boil kettle with clean water. Then take a dry cloth and wipe the inside.
That's all. Now you can pour fresh clean water and enjoy your favorite delicious tea!
