Nakuziwa emikhiqizweni yokuhlanza ekhaya engalimazi ibhoduluko, izinto zokuthoma eziza engqondweni mhlamunye yiviniga emhlophe nesoda yokubhaga. Kodwana asipheleli kilaba ababili kwaphela; eqinisweni, kuneminye imikhiqizo yokuhlanza engalimazi ibhoduluko eneensetjenziswa ezinengi ekhaya begodu kezinye izehlakalo isebenza ngcono.
Isisetjenziswa sokuhlanza esihlaza satjani esibizwa nge-“citric acid” singenza bona ungakhululeki ekuthomeni. Kodwana mhlobo odumileko wokuhlwengisa endlini one-esidi osele ukhona amakhulu weminyaka—kokuthoma kwahlukaniswa ngejuzi yelemoni ngasekupheleni kwabo-1700. I-citric acid ihlanza njani? Sihlanganise iindlela ezilikhomba zokuhlwengisa ekhaya ukukusiza bona uzuze khulu.
Ngaphambi kobana sitjhinge ekusetjenzisweni kwe-citric acid, kufuze siqale sizwisise bona yini. Ipuyere le, ethathwe eenthelweni ze-citrus, inezinto ezifanako zokuhlanza njenge-citric acid ejayelekileko, kodwana isebenza kuhle khulu. Ine-esidi, okwenza bona kube lula ukususa i-limescale, begodu inomphumela wokuhlanza. Kuhlekuhle, kuvamise ukunconywa njengenye indlela yeviniga emhlophe ehlanjululweko.
Kunomehluko hlangana nalokhu okubili, nanyana kunjalo. U-Dr Joanna Buckley, umnqophisi wezefundo e-Royal Society of Chemistry, wathi: “I-citric acid neviniga zombili zizinto ezisebenzako eentweni ezinengi zokuhlanza ekhaya, begodu zombili zisebenza kuhle. I-pH, nje-ke ine-esidi encani.
Nanyana kunjalo, i-citric acid iseyinto evuthako begodu ngalokho ayikafaneli kizo zoke iindawo. Njengombana kuneendawo eziyi-7 okungakafaneli zihlanzwe ngeviniga, i-citric acid ayikafaneli amatje wemvelo, amaphasi wamaplanka kanye nendawo. I-aluminiyamu nayo ayikalungi.
Ngaphezu kokuhlanza indlu, i-citric acid ingasetjenziswa ekuphekeni, njengesinongo, kanye nokulondoloza ukudla. Kodwana, hlala uhlola ngaphambilini bona umhlobo owukhethako ulungele ukupheka. I-Dri-Pak mhlobo odumileko, kodwana ukupakisha lokhu akukaphephi ukudla, njeke kufanele kusetjenziselwe ukuhlanza kwaphela.
Nanyana i-citric acid iphephile ukuyisebenzisa, kunconywa bona ugqoke amagilavu ​​lokha nawuhlanza ngayo ukuvikela isikhumba sakho. Ukungezelela, kufanele ugqoke amagilasi wokuvikela kanye nemaski ukukhandela ukuhogela i-citric acid.
Njengeviniga emhlophe ehlanjululweko, ungahlanganisa i-citric acid ukwenza indawo ihlanzeke. Hlanganisa nje iinpuni ezi-2.5 ze-citric acid nama-500 ml wamanzi afuthumeleko ebhodleleni lokufafaza elingenalutho, uthintithe kuhle, bese usebenzisa ingxube ephumelako ukufafaza amaphasi we-laminate, iplastiki kanye nama-countertops wensimbi ekhaya lakho loke.
Sibawa uqaphele bona lesi sisombululo esivuthako, yeke ungasisebenzisi ematjeni wemvelo nofana emaplanka.
Iviniga yi-ejenti eyaziwako yokususa amabala, kodwana i-citric acid nayo isebenza kuhle. Kokuthoma, zalisa iketleli ngamanzi bese uvula umlilo. Cima igezi ngaphambi kobana amanzi abile; umnqopho kukugcina amanzi afuthumele.
Khipha iketele, faka iinpuni ezimbili ze-citric acid emhlanganisweni bese uyitjhiya imizuzu eli-15-20 bona isebenze (qiniseka bona utjhiya inothi ukwenzela bona kungabi nomuntu oyisebenzisako ngesikhatheso!). Thela isisombululo bese ubilisa ingcenye etja yamanzi ukususa yoke imikhondo.
Nangabe amabala wakho amhlophe abukeka ampunga kancani begodu awunawo amalemoni esandleni, i-citric acid nayo ingasiza. Hlanganisa nje iinpuni ezintathu ze-citric acid namalitha amane wamanzi afuthumeleko bese ugovuza bekube lapho incibilika khona. Bese uthambisa isambatho ubusuku boke bese usihlanza ngomtjhini ngelanga elilandelako. Lokhu kuzokusiza nokulapha ngaphambilini nanyana ngimaphi amabala.
Sebenzisa i-citric acid ukubuyisela izinto zengilazi ezithambekele ekubeni neenkungu. Fafaza nje i-citric acid ngaphakathi kwendawo yokuhlanza yomtjhini wakho wokuhlamba iintja bese wenza umjikelezo ovamileko ngaphandle kokuhlanza, ubeke ingilazi phezu kwe-rack ephezulu. Nasele uqedile, izinto zakho zengilazi zizokubuyela esimweni sazo sokuqala, begodu lokhu kunenzuzo eyengeziweko yokukhipha isikhumba emtjhini wakho wokuhlamba iintja ngesikhathi sinye.
Ukususa i-limescale efihlekileko ethoyilethi yakho, vele uthele ibhakede lamanzi atjhisako esitjeni bese ufaka ikopi ye-citric acid. Yivumele incibilike bese isebenza okungenani i-awa (ubusuku bungcono) ngaphambi kokuhlanza ngelanga elilandelako.
Gcina izibuko namafasidera wakho abonakala amatjha ngeviniga emhlophe, kodwana ngaphandle kwephunga! Lungisa nje isihlanzi sendawo njengoba kuchaziwe ngehla, usifafaze ezibukweni zakho namafasitela, bese usula ngendwangu yengilazi ye-microfiber ngokunyakaza okuyindilinga ukusuka phezulu ukuya phasi. Nangabe i-limescale kubudisi ukuyisusa, yiyekele ihlale imizuzu embalwa ngaphambi kokuyisula.
Ilemoni yindlela edumileko yokuhlanza i-microwave yakho, kodwana i-citric acid isebenza kuhle! Ngaphakathi kwesitja esiphephileko se-microwave, hlanganisa iinpuni ezimbili ze-citric acid nama-500 ml wamanzi atjhisako. Hlanganisa bekube kulapho sele incibilika, bese utjhisa ngaphakathi kwe-microwave bekube lapho kuvela umtjhiso ngaphakathi. Vala umnyango we-microwave bese utjhiya imizuzu emi-5 ukuya keli-10. Ngemva kobana isisombululo sipholile, sula nanyana ngisiphi isisombululo esiseleko ngetjhila elithambileko. Lokha isisombululo nasele sipholile ngokwaneleko, ungasisebenzisa ukusula i-microwave yakho.
I-Good Housekeeping ihlanganyela eenhlelweni ezihlukahlukeneko zokumaketha ezihlangeneko, okutjho bona singathola ikhomishini ekhokhelwako emikhiqizweni ekhethwe ngokuhlela ethengwe ngokusebenzisa amakhonkco wethu kumasayithi wabathengisi.
