One of the most common problems faced by owners of washing machines is the formation of scale on the mechanical parts of the unit. Most of all this trouble is exposed to a heating element - as it is constantly in contact with tap water. The lower the quality of the water from the tap( that is, the harder it is), the faster the build-up of scale and the harder it is to cope with. In combating this problem, the hostess uses a variety of means - from folk recipes to specialty shop preparations. In this article we want to tell you about antinakipine, a popular tool that helps to get rid of scum.
Antinakipine is a common name for anti-scale agents, the names of analogs are: onuminerant, antiscale, etc. Antinucipine may have a different composition depending on the manufacturer. Most often in its composition there are acids, alkalis and various active additives. This agent can be in the form of a powder, paste or liquid.
Antinakipin not only gently loosens and removes scurf, but has a preventive effect. Many manufacturers take care that their product produces an anti-corrosion and antibacterial effect. Unlike the advertised means, such as Calgon, which are just a measure of prevention, antinakipin acts very quickly, for one application removing most of the formed scale.
How does it work?
The scum that forms on the working parts of the washing machine can cause very unpleasant consequences - from poorly washed, foul-smelling things to increased costs for electricity. That is why scale deposits need to be permanently removed. For this purpose antiknakipin is intended. It acts in two ways: first, thanks to the action of the active components, softens the scum deposits, gently cleaning the fragile parts of the mechanism. Secondly, it softens hard water. Tap water contains in its composition magnesium and calcium salts, which are the main cause of plaque formation. Antinakipin "desalts" tap water, making it safe for the heater and other metal elements of the washing machine.
Composition
The main active substance of any anti-scale is acids. As part of the absolute majority of anti-scale agents, sulfamic acid is present. Other unchanged ingredients are ammonium chloride and thiourea( thioguanic acid diamide).In addition to the above main components, antinakipin can contain in its composition dyes, flavors, as well as a whole complex of active ingredients, which has a caring and preventive effect.
Instruction for use
Each manufacturer offers its recommendations on the use of antiscale. Consider the instructions for using anti-scale agents from the most famous manufacturers of household chemicals.
The trade mark "Furman". This product is packaged in packets of 50 grams. One packet is designed for one application;effect should be enough for about six months. The contents of the sachet must be filled directly into the empty drum, then run the wash program at a temperature of 30 to 40 degrees.
The company "Greenfield Rus". Antinakipin from this manufacturer is sold in a 250-gram package, which is designed for approximately 4 applications. A single dose of the drug is 60 grams. It is recommended to use this tool twice a year. The product is poured into the drum of the washing machine, then washing is started at a temperature mode of about 40 degrees( the loading door must be empty at the same time).
The trade and manufacturing company "AMC Media". This manufacturer produces anti-scale agent called "Cinderella".It is sold as a liquid, and in the form of a powder. The first option is more popular - it is used not only to care for the washing machine, but also for cleaning kettles, coffee makers, etc. The volume of the bottle is 250 ml;One bottle is enough for one cleaning procedure. The product must be poured into an empty drum and run the wash program at a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees.
Analogs
To get rid of scale deposits, in addition to anti-scale, you can use tools similar to the effect, but different in composition, or folk methods. Chistolan deserves mention among the shop drugs. True, it is quite difficult to find it on sale, in addition, some complain that this remedy leaves a dark plume after it - but so far this has not been proved by anything.
Mistresses often invent their own ways of combating scum. The most popular are citric acid and carbonated water. The citric acid is poured into the detergent feeder, then the washing cycle is started. The soda is poured directly into the drum.
Tips
- According to experts, preference should be given to anti-scale agents that are made in the form of liquid. They start to act more quickly and more gently to the inside of the washing machine.
- Carefully read the instructions for antiscale, strictly observe the recommended dosage. Work with a product better in gloves to avoid chemical burns. Do not allow the entry of anti-scale in the respiratory tract and mucous membranes.
