One cures, another cripples: here's what you shouldn't use to clean scale from a kettle
A popular life hack turned out to be not as useful in practice as it was thought.
There are many ways to remove scale from a regular or electric kettle, including folk remedies.
The latter includes the sweet carbonated drink Coca-Cola. The drink affects the deposits, loosening them.
The scale comes off and all that remains is to wipe the inner walls of the kettle and then rinse.
But experts do not recommend using soda to clean electrical appliances.
Firstly, exposed heating elements may fail. Secondly, the coloring pigment may leave marks on the walls of the device.
To defeat scale with soda, you will have to boil the liquid several times. If you look at the issue of savings, it is cheaper to use citric acid or vinegar.
Considering the possible consequences, the kettle will be clean, but it may need repair. In this case, there is no longer any talk of saving.
