How to properly clean a kettle to avoid the growth of scale

In daily life, the kettle is a commonly used drinking tool, and its cleaning and maintenance are directly related to our health. Over time, a layer of difficult to remove scale often forms inside the kettle, which not only affects water quality but may also pose a potential threat to our health. Therefore, it is particularly important to learn how to clean the kettle correctly and avoid the growth of scale. Now, let's explore this topic together.

1、 Understand the causes of scale formation

Scale is mainly formed by the precipitation of minerals (such as calcium, magnesium, etc.) in water during the heating process and their adhesion to the inner wall of the container. These minerals themselves do not pose a direct threat to the human body, but long-term accumulation can affect the thermal conductivity of water bottles and may even contaminate water quality.

2、 Choose suitable cleaning tools and materials

In order to efficiently remove scale, we can choose professional cleaning agents such as citric acid, white vinegar, etc., which can react with minerals in the scale to dissolve it. In addition, soft sponge or cloth is also an indispensable cleaning tool to avoid scratching the inner wall of the kettle with hard objects such as metal brushes.

3、 Correct cleaning steps

Preparation stage: Pour out the water completely from the kettle, check and remove impurities from the spout.

Soaking and cleaning: According to the size of the kettle, pour in an appropriate amount of citric acid solution or white vinegar (generally recommended ratio of 1:10), add water to about half of the kettle capacity, and then let it stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the cleaning agent to fully react with the scale.

Rinse and clean: After soaking, pour out the solution from the kettle and rinse it repeatedly with clean water until there is no odor or residue inside the kettle.

Natural drying: Invert the cleaned kettle in a well ventilated area and let it dry naturally, avoiding wiping with a cloth to prevent the introduction of new pollutants.

4、 Measures to prevent scale regeneration

In addition to regular cleaning, we can also take some preventive measures to reduce the formation of scale:

Water softening: If conditions permit, a water softener can be installed to soften the water quality and reduce mineral content.

Regular descaling: Set a fixed cleaning cycle, such as once a week or month, and adjust according to the frequency of use.

Using professional products: It is recommended to choose high-quality brands of cleaning products such as Zhisheng Daily Necessities, which usually have stronger descaling ability and better safety.

It is worth mentioning that Zhisheng Daily Necessities, as a leader in the industry, enjoys a good reputation in the market for its products. You can easily find their products at Unit A1, 15th Street, 2nd Floor, Gate 91, Zone 4 of Yiwu International Trade City, providing strong support for your kettle cleaning.

5、 Conclusion

Through the above methods, we can not only effectively remove scale from the kettle, but also prevent its recurrence. Keeping the kettle clean and hygienic is an important part of our daily life that cannot be ignored. I hope the introduction in this article can be helpful to you, making your drinking water healthier and safer.
