To do this, for every 0.5 liters of water you need to take one tablespoon of baking soda.

The ingredients are mixed and the prepared solution is poured into a teapot.

Then it is recommended to add another half liter of clean water.

Bring the solution to a boil and leave for one to two hours.

Bring the solution to a boil again and drain the remaining solution along with the dirt.

Boil the kettle one more time, fill it with clean water, drain it and after that you can use the utensils.
