This method is one of the tricks that allows you to get rid of pollution using “waste”.

Limescale is a problem that many people are familiar with. The harder the water, the faster scale forms on the bottom of the kettle.

Many tricks have been invented to get rid of scale. Vinegar or citric acid are often used for this.

However, experienced housewives have found another method, more effective than which it is difficult to find. To destroy solid deposits, they use the peel of pears, apples or citrus fruits.

When preparing desserts, the fruit peels are still thrown away, so housewives have found a more rational use for them.

The peel needs to be washed, placed in a teapot, filled with water, brought to a boil, and then left for 2-3 hours.

All that remains is to throw away the contents of the kettle and rinse it. There is no scale and the pungent smell of vinegar does not need to be removed. The trick works with stainless steel and enamel containers.
