Lime scale

As water boils going through temperatures, several processes take place that could reduce the quality of an electric kettle. Rust will first manifest itself in areas that are frequently exposed to high temperatures, such as the bottom of the jar.

These residues compromise the drink's flavor and may be harmful to consumers. Users therefore should take the following steps to clean the electric kettle and alleviate health risks.

Eggshell

 

         

Do not rush to throw away the eggshell because it can be used to clean the kettle.

Smash the eggshell from a boiled egg and place the pieces in the kettle. Fill it half way up, use chopsticks to stir and boil for about 30 minutes. Wipe the kettle twice after removing the eggshell.

Potato peel

Clean some potatoes, peel and place the peels in the electric kettle with an appropriate amount of water. The scale can vanish after boiling for 10 minutes. Pour the mixture away and rinse the kettle with clean water.

Fresh tea leaves or loofah

Simply place a loofah in the kettle, and it will function as a filter to prevent residue buildup. It should be emphasized, nevertheless, that users should regularly replace the loofah and maintain it clean before putting it in the kettle. Alternatively, tea leaves may be used. To get rid of tough deposits, crush green tea leaves and add them to a saucepan of boiling water. Let them steep for approximately a day.
