How to Clean a Gas Water Heater

1. The first is to clean the outside of the water heater. In our family, gas water heaters are mostly installed in places such as bathrooms or kitchens, so it is easy for oil fume and dust to adhere to the shell of the gas water heater. It becomes difficult to clean, and the use of internal components will also be affected, so we need to wipe the appearance of the water heater frequently. It is best not to wait for it to be dirty before cleaning, but to clean it every once in a while.

2. Regarding the cleaning method of the gas water heater shell, it is actually very simple. It is recommended that you wipe it with a damp cloth every week. If there is oily smoke on the gas water heater and it is difficult to clean, you can quickly remove the dirt with detergent or detergent used at home. We also need to clean the external pipes of the gas water heater. What everyone needs to pay attention to is that we must first close the main valve of the pipe when cleaning. We can't use hot water to clean the noodles. We can use a clean rag to dip some water directly The next wipe.

3. The next step is to clean the inside of the gas water heater. First, we need to disassemble the shell of the gas water heater. For the carbon deposits on the combustion part, we can use a professional carbon remover to clean it. It is necessary to remove the carbon remover and clean it. Mix the liquid and then soak it, wait for a period of time to see that the carbon deposits soften before using a brush for deep cleaning. After cleaning, we need to wash it again with clean water, and then wait for it to dry, or use a hair dryer to dry it. Reinstall it after it is completely dry.​​

For our safety, when the water heater is disassembled, we must first take out the battery and close the gas valve. If we feel that the internal structure of the gas water heater is too complicated and do not know how to clean it, we can ask a professional to clean it for us.
