Citric Acid - 500g
Citric acid is one of the simplest products in our cleaning cupboard, and particularly useful if you live in a hard-water area. Its real strength is limescale: it dissolves the mineral deposits left by hard water rather than cleaning grease and everyday dirt in the way soap does.
We use it for descaling kettles and coffee machines, removing limescale around taps and showers and looking after the washing machine. It also has a useful place alongside traditional soap, helping to deal with the mineral and soap deposits that can build up over time.
How do I use Citric Acid?
For the washing machine
Add 6–8 tablespoons of Citric Acid directly to the empty drum and run a 90°C cycle. This helps remove limescale and mineral deposits and is particularly useful in hard-water areas or if you regularly wash with soap. This is a cleaning cycle for the machine rather than something we add to the laundry itself. If you're looking for something to use in the rinse when washing with Soap Flakes, we use white vinegar instead.
For kettles and coffee machines
Dissolve 1–2 tablespoons in a litre of water. For a kettle, bring it briefly to the boil, leave for around 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Coffee machines need a slightly different method, so I'd follow the manufacturer's instructions before descaling yours.
For taps and shower heads
Dissolve 2–5 tablespoons of Citric Acid in a litre of water and use the solution to dissolve limescale around taps, shower heads and other hard-water areas, then rinse thoroughly with clean water
Where shouldn't I use Citric Acid?
Citric Acid is an acid, so there are a few places it doesn't belong. Don't use it on marble, limestone or other acid-sensitive stone, aluminium or other surfaces where the manufacturer advises against acids. Never mix Citric Acid with bleach or chlorine-based cleaning products.
There's also little point using it at the same time as an alkaline cleaner such as Soda Crystals as they work against one another. If you're using Citric Acid around coloured textiles, take care with the concentrated solution and test first if you're unsure.

Why i hadn't uses this before now is beyond me. Used to descale my kettle, create a spray for the bathroom and clean the washing machine. Slightly expensive compared to others on the market is the only downside but otherwise very happy.
