descaled
Freed from buildup
Descaled describes something that has had scale removed from it.
Scale in this context refers either to the hard mineral deposits that build up inside kettles, pipes, and appliances from hard water, or to the thin overlapping plates covering fish and reptiles.
A descaled kettle heats water more efficiently; descaled fish are ready for cooking.
The verb descale means to perform this removal: I need to descale the coffee maker.
