Citric acid has a remarkably wide range of uses. It is highly effective for cleaning. It occurs naturally in citrus fruits. In the food industry, it is used as a preservative and flavoring agent, but it has also found its place in household cleaning.

Thanks to its acidic properties, it can dissolve mineral deposits. It works wonders on:

limescale in kettles
deposits in washing machines
dirt in bathrooms and toilets

The history of citric acid dates back to 1784, when Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele isolated it by crystallizing lemon juice. Later, industrial production enabled its widespread use not only in the food industry but also in households.

Take a look at practical tips on how to use it for cleaning.
