    Limescale should be a common sight in life, and there will be a thermos in the thermos, but now there are fewer and fewer people who should use the thermos, and there are more in the kettle, which should be more. Let's talk about my experience, our family didn't buy a water purifier before, so we always used tap water to boil and drink, which caused the kettle to be full of scale in a few weeks, so that we had to clean it. Our family generally uses the form of eggshell and vinegar, but the eggshell is not necessarily available at any time, so you can also just put vinegar, generally pour half a bag of vinegar and hot water into it, and the scale will naturally fall off after a while, and then wash it clean, it is recommended to wash it several times, otherwise the vinegar smell is really unbearable, the principle of thermos and water heater is actually the same, it is solved by vinegar, because the main ingredient in scale is calcium carbonate, everyone should have learned when they were in junior high school chemical reactions, So I won't introduce it much.

    There is also a kind of almighty ** solved, go online to buy that kind of special scale cleaner, In the past, the answer to any question you want to know can be given to you, but now it is the solution to any problem you want to know, as long as you have money, you can spend money to solve it, I have not bought this kind of scale cleaner, but I think the effect should be good, because the scale itself is not a particularly difficult thing to clean, there is a point, it is recommended to see the ingredients clearly when buying, because the water in the thermos is to be drunk directly, What if you buy a fake and shoddy cleaning agent that is harmful to your body, so it is recommended to buy a more expensive one, look carefully when looking at the ingredients, and don't spend this money to be fooled.

    In fact, I wanted to see that the scale cleaning was not so troublesome, so I poured in half a bag of vinegar and washed it quickly.

    <> everyone must know that after the hot water bottle has been used for a long time, there will be a thick layer of scale on the inner wall, the color is gray and black, and it cannot be cleaned with boiling water, and because of the structure of the hot water bottle, it cannot be brushed off with a brush. This scale seems harmless, but in fact, it has a great impact on the body, and scale fragments can lead to an increase in the incidence of kidney stones and urethral stones, and increase the incidence of diseases of the human digestive system and urinary system. Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the scale in time after it is generated.

    Since we want to eliminate it, we must first know what the composition of scale is, so that we can prescribe the right medicine and remove it with the principle of chemical reaction. "Scale", also known as "water alkali", is an insoluble compound or mixture formed by calcium ions (Ca2+) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) dissolved in water and certain acid ions when the state of water changes, and its main component is calcium carbonate. I learned how to dissolve calcium carbonate in junior high school chemistry, calcium carbonate can react with acid, and the following are several ways to remove it.

    The first one: you can pour some low-concentration baking soda, or heat the vinegar into the bottle, cover the cork, shake it gently with water, remember to be even, so that most of the scale in it can be dissolved, wait for a while, pour out all the solution, and then wash it with cold water, the scale can be removed.

    The second type: break the two egg shells slightly, put them in the bottle, fill them with some water, cover the cork, rotate them up and down, left and right, and shake them vigorously, shake them for about 2 minutes, pour out the contents of the contents, and rinse them with clean water.

    The third way: go to the Internet or supermarket to buy scale cleaner, save time and effort, it will not cost much, if it is not clean, it is harmful to health. For more information, please refer to the instructions for details:

    Tear open a pack of limescale cleaner and pour it into the container, inject hot water, and fully soak the inner wall of the container in water.

    <>I think everyone has a thermos at home or a place where they work, and they will have a thermos bottle in case they have hot water in time**. With the existence of the thermos, cleaning the thermos has become a problem, the scale in the thermos always makes us anxious, the general cleaning with water, or the cleaning agent such as dish soap, always has no effect, and wastes time and materials. Now let's talk about how to remove limescale from the thermos and master the relevant knowledge.

    There are several ways to do this, but let's talk about the first one, which is to remove limescale with acidic substances such as vinegar. Because limescale is alkaline and vinegar is acidic, the combination of the two can cause the scale to fall off the inner wall of the thermos and form a dross. Put some vinegar into the thermos first, let the vinegar cover the bottom of the bottle, gently shake the vinegar to stain all the places on the inner wall of the thermos, then pour out the vinegar, and then add one-third of the thermos capacity of hot water for cleaning, if you feel that it is not cleaned, add some vinegar into it, use a brush to dip the vinegar in the limescale and gently scrub it, be careful not to brush the inner wall of the thermos.

    Then close the cork and place it in a cool place for a few days, and then wash off the water and alkali in the thermos with tea leaves. The scale in this thermos is cleaned, and some people may find this method a bit troublesome, but this method is the cleanest method.

    There are other small ways to remove most of the limescale. For example, mung beans, broken egg shells, and steel wool balls can be used to remove scale slightly, but for cleaning, it is greatly incomparable, and it can only be used as a temporary method to remove scale. Of course, some can be removed with dilute hydrochloric acid, but hydrochloric acid is a harmful substance after all, and improper handling will cause harm to the human body, so it is generally not recommended to use it.

    There is also water from the orange peel to be cleaned, or peeled dried loofah scrubbed is also possible.

    However, for the sake of health and cleanliness, I still support the method of vinegar cleaning thermoses, which is convenient and safe, although it will be a little troublesome, but once and for all, it can be cleaned and can ensure your own safety, so this method is still more perfect.

    The steps are as follows:

    1. First of all, empty the hot water in the thermos, add vinegar to the thermos, and ensure that the amount of vinegar is just below the bottom of the thermos (thermos).

    2. Then cover the thermos stopper, put the thermos horizontally, and then slowly rotate it so that the vinegar is in full contact with the wall of the thermos. Rotate for about 40 seconds, then uncork and pour the vinegar from the thermos.

    3. Then fill the thermos with one-third of the thermos. Close the cork, pinch the cork with your hand so that the mouth of the bottle is slightly slit, and shake the thermos. Shake the thermos for about 15 seconds and then pour out the water.

    4. Observe that there is no limescale in the thermos. Then repeat the method of the previous step with clean water, and wash it twice. If there is still a small amount of limescale, I dissolve the limescale by repeating the second step with a small amount of vinegar. Then wash it three times with clean water.

    Apply dilute hydrochloric acid to the limescale position, spread a layer of plastic wrap on it, wait for about half an hour, the hydrochloric acid will fully soak the scale, and the corrosion reaction will occur, so that the scale can be well removed, and the residual hydrochloric acid should be cleaned with clean water.

    4. High-pressure water gun removal.

    The high-pressure water gun has a large impact force, and the effect of descaling and decontamination is very good, using pressure and impact force, you can remove the scale on the object, but when using it, you should pay attention not to use it all the time against an area, which is easy to damage the object.
