Citric acid is a non-toxic cleaning agent that has also been used in food as a pH balancer, preservative and to give the tangy sour taste to lollies and lemon syrup.

Minerals in your tap water can build up inside your washing machine, dishwasher, kettle, coffee machine and iron. Over time the build-up makes them less effective at doing their job - particularly heating water. Maintaining your appliances by striping these deposits will ensure they work better and last longer. Descaling is as easy as running a citric acid solution through your appliance. Built up minerals can be dissolved and then rinsed away

Perfect for Tackling Hard Water Stains

For home cleaning, Citric acid is ideal for dealing with water minerals that build up on glass or inside appliances that have a heating element or boiler. Commercial descaling mixes often contain extra additives like phosphate, QUATs and fragrance that are best avoided and not good for our waterways. Citric acid is the active ingredient - keep it simple, pared-back and effective!

Water spots are removed from your shower by dissolving built up calcium and magnesium, after spraying the area with your solution the minerals are softened and the limescale is release from the glass without very hard scrubbing.
