incrustation Explanation: Result of the cross translation (Russian>Turkish>English) We have the same combination of those words in Turkish. And that's how it is generally translated. |

limescale Explanation: Lime Scale Remover Suitable for limescale and rust stain removal from metal fixtures, showers, shower doors, etc. Example of a similar product: http://www.descale-it.com/ The process is also called DESCALING, that is if you want to be really technical about it. :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2009-06-10 00:40:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Окаменевшие накипи - lime scale or lime build-up. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-06-10 00:54:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Susan, the difference between водный камень и окаменевшие накипи is very little: the former just builds up on surfaces that come in contact with water while the latter builds up in coffee-makers and tea-pots from boiling water (i.e. накипи are formed through the heating process). They are sometimes called "calcium build-up". I am sure you have your own examples of this in your kitchen. :-)) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day18 hrs (2009-06-11 18:04:15 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- You can't possibly have worse water than us, Susan! Wanner bet? :-))) Thanks for the points! |
