The invention discloses an equipment descaling agent and a preparation method thereof. The equipment descaling agent contains the following ingredients in parts by weight: 30-40 parts of aminosulfonic acid, 15-25 parts of ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid, 15-25 parts of citric acid, 1-5 parts of sodium lauryl sulfate, 0.5-3 parts of sodium polystyrene sulfonate, 5-10 parts of lignin, 3-8 parts of hexamethylene tetramine, 2-8 parts of ethanol, 0.5-1 part of sodium tripolyphosphate and 120-150 parts of water. The preparation method comprises the steps of heating the water to the temperature of 60-70 DEG C, adding all the ingredients into the water except for ethanol and sodium tripolyphosphate, stirring until the ingredients are dissolved, then, lowering the temperature to 50-60 DEG C, adding ethanol and sodium tripolyphosphate, and continuing to stir until a solution is clarified, thereby obtaining the equipment descaling agent. The equipment descaling agent disclosed by the invention is safe and non-toxic, is simple in production process, low in cost, convenient in use and good in descaling effect, and can be widely used.
