Citric acid is a compound that also occurs naturally in citrus fruits . Its “acidic” nature effectively eliminates limescale and stubborn dirt . This is why it is a perfect ingredient for:
create a fabric softener for the washing machine
clean the washing machine from bad odors and limescale
make rinse aid for the dishwasher
create a versatile and economical limescale remover.
Is the dose to use correct?
Being a marketed product, it is the packaging that suggests the right dose of citric acid to use.
Generally, the recommended one consists of dissolving 150 grams of citric acid in a liter of demineralised , warm water, as it is pure and makes dissolution faster.
For convenience, if you want to use it as a limescale remover for your home , it is best to transfer everything into a spray bottle , so as to always have the solution at hand.
