Practical advice

When cleaning, it is recommended to make movements from the inside to the outside and clean the crevices.

If the scale is persistent, you may need to repeat the steps more than once. You can use a soft-bristled dish brush to remove the residue, but it’s important  to wear thick gloves to protect your hands.
