WELCOME/BIENVENIDOS
ENGLISH/ESPA脩OL
Good evening, friends at @homesolutions. When I arrived in Chile, I realised that electric kettles and teapots are widely used here, but what I hadn't realised is that boiling water so often leaves sediment in both of them, and if they aren't cleaned in time, the sediment sticks to the kettle and teapot and is difficult to remove. So I set about searching the internet for ways to clean the kettle, but I forgot to take photos. Later, I went to my daughter's mother-in-law's house and she had a teapot lying in the yard because it had a lot of sediment stuck to it and she was going to throw it away. I offered to clean it, but I forgot to take photos again 馃檲. But another day I went back and saw that she had another one in even worse condition, and I asked her if I could clean it. She said, "Just keep it, I'm not going to use it," so I brought it home, and this time I did take photos.
Feliz noche amigos de
@homesolutions, cuando llegue a Chile me di cuenta que aqu铆 se usa mucho el hervidor que es el茅ctrico o la tetera que se coloca en la cocina, pero lo que no me hab铆a dado cuenta es que quedan sedimentos en los dos de tanto hervir agua que si no se limpian a tiempo se pegan en el hervidor y la tetera y despu茅s son dif铆ciles de sacar,as铆 que me di a la tarea de buscar en internet para limpiar el hervidor pero se me olvid贸 tomar fotos, despu茅s fui casa de la suegra de mi hija y ella ten铆a una tetera tirada en el patio por qu茅 ten铆a mucho sedimento pegado y la iba a botar y yo me ofrec铆 a limpiarla y tambi茅n se me olvid贸 tomar fotos 馃檲, pero otro d铆a regres茅 y vi que ten铆a otra en peores condiciones y se la ped铆 para limpiarla y me dijo quedesela nom谩s que yo no la voy a ocupar as铆 que me la traje y a esta si le tome fotos.
KETTLE/HERVIDOR
I started by removing a piece of fabric from the handle and washing it because it was very dirty.
Then, using a spoon, I tried to remove some of the sediment that was stuck to it, and then I put it on the hob with vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and water, let it boil for 5 minutes and left it to soak. I threw away that water when it cooled down and scrubbed it with steel wool and detergent.
Empec茅 por quitarle una tela que ten铆a en el asa y lavarla por que estaba muy cochina.
Luego con una cuchara trate de quitarle parte del sedimento que ten铆a pegado y despu茅s la puse a la candela con vinagre, bicarbonato y agua, la deje hervir por 5 minutos y la dej茅 en remojo, bote esa agua cuando se enfr铆o y me dedique a estregarla con el brillo de alambre y detergente .
Then I repeated the same procedure with water, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. With the help of a spatula, I removed the remaining sediment and rubbed it with sandpaper until it was shiny. It was worth the effort.
Luego volv铆 a hacer el mismo procedimiento con agua, bicarbonato y vinagre,con la ayuda de una esp谩tula le despegue los sedimentos que le quedaban y con una lija la fui frotando hasta dejarla reluciente, vali贸 la pena el esfuerzo.
I hope that, like me, you enjoy rescuing things that still have useful life left in them. It's very satisfying.
That's all for today's post. The photos used here are my own, taken with my Motorola G30 mobile phone. I used Deepl Translator, and the cover image was edited in Canva.
Espero que ustedes al igual que yo se dediquen a rescatar las cosas que todav铆a tengan vida 煤til se siente una gran satisfacci贸n.
