Citric acid has many uses around the house for cleaning. Especially for removing water and acidic stains. It’s a great way to clean without chemicals.

For example:

• To destain tea cups: Dissolve a tablespoon of powder in a hot mug of water. Leave for 5 minutes and lightly scrub the surface to remove the stains.
• To clean and descale coffee makers and kettles: Dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of citric acid in a cup of water and pour the solution into the coffee maker or kettle. Run the machine for a cycle or two, then rinse thoroughly with water.
• To clean and remove stains from hard surfaces: Mix the powder with water to create a cleaning solution. You can use this solution to clean kitchen counters, bathroom tiles, and other hard surfaces. Simply apply the solution, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean.
• To remove rust stains: Mix citric acid with water to create a paste and apply it to the rust stain. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then scrub the area with a brush and rinse with water.
• To clean and freshen up your dishwasher: Add the powder to your dishwasher detergent to help remove buildup and odors. You can also run a cycle with citric acid alone by adding it to the detergent compartment and running the dishwasher on a hot cycle.
• To clean the toilet: Pour about 100g of the powder into the toilet. Pour over boiling water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. Scrub and flush. It works like magic!
