Over time, wear takes place even the highest quality equipment. As for washing machines, here the main culprit of many damage is an excess of scale and other deposits on the internal parts of the device. A popular tool for cleaning washing machines is citric acid. How to remove scale, read in this article.
Process mechanism
Before using such a means as citric acid, it is necessary to deal with what exactly it should cope. Skype in a washing machine, and it is it that it most often displays the heating element of the machine (TEN) and other internal parts, represents insoluble Caco compounds 3 and Mgco. 3 - calcium and magnesium carbonates, respectively. Lemonic acid effectively dissolves the compound data without destroying the metal parts of the machine.
As a result of a 2C chemical reaction 6H. 8O. 7 + 3Caco. 3.it turns out water, calcium citrate (which is soluble in it) and gas (carbon dioxide). These products are easily abandoned with a washing machine during plum.
Step-by-step instruction
Evaluating the quality of the cleaning performed, consider that 125 g of citric acid is estimated to remove 100 g of scales.
- Check the drum for any things. It should be empty, since in the process of cleaning things under the influence of acid will be spoiled.
- The amount of powder depends on the amount of loading of your technique and type of cleaning - preventive processing or actually cleaning. So for small aggregates with a capacity of 3-4 kg, it will be enough for 100 g. Acid (60 g for prevention). For the machine with the possibility of loading 6-7 kg of linen, prepare 200 g of lemon powder (100 g to "refresh" the machine).
- To clean the internal parts of the machine-machine cooked citric acid fall asleep in the main compartment for washing powder.
- Close the drum. Further actions depend on the peculiarities of your car. So, if the technique has a separate mode for cleaning the drum, choose it. If the cleaning is not made as a separate option, it is necessary to set the "cotton" mode and the heating temperature to 80 ° --90 ° C. In the case of prophylactic cleaning, when the task is to eliminate a slight layer of plaque, it will be sufficient to heat up to 60 ° C.
- The working cycle should include all the stages of traditional washing - the "washing", rinse, spin and drain.
The positive effect is achieved when adding 2-4 tbsp. l. Calcinated soda at 150-200 g of lemon powder, respectively.
Positive moments and precautions
The use of lemon powder for cleaning the washing machine-machine certainly has a number of advantages.
- Availability and low cost. It is possible to purchase citric acid in the necessary quantity in almost any store, and it will be pleasantly pleased with the cost of specialized means for cleaning the equipment.
- Easy use. For cleaning the machine with a lemon powder, special skills and skills are required.
- High efficiency. The result obtained during the use of citric acid is not inferior to the effect of the use of professional equipment to remove scale. 100 g powder can remove about 80 g of deposits.
- Security for man. The products of the reaction of deposits and lemon powder are water, gas (carbon dioxide) and calcium citrate.
At the same time, many of the owners of washing machines fear such active exposure to citric acid, afraid that it destroys not only the flare, but also the details of the technique - damage to the metal parts will appear, the rubber band seal cracks. A certain proportion of concerns is justified. To avoid a negative "side" impact, do not be fond of frequent cleaning of technology using too much acid. It is enough to "drive" powder 1 time in 6-12 months.
