Here’s how to apply citric acid in 8 different ways:
Descale Coffee Makers & Kettles
Mix 1 tablespoon of citric acid with 1 liter of water. Run the solution through the appliance, then rinse with clean water to remove limescale buildup.
All-Natural Bathroom Cleaner
Combine 2 tablespoons of citric acid with 1 cup of warm water in a spray bottle. Use on tiles, tubs, and sinks to remove soap scum and mineral stains.
Laundry Brightener
Add 1 tablespoon of citric acid to your detergent drawer to naturally soften water, brighten whites, and prevent detergent residue on clothes.
Rust Remover
Create a thick paste with citric acid and water. Apply it to rusted tools or metal surfaces, let sit for 30 minutes, then scrub clean.
Dishwasher Booster
Add 1–2 teaspoons of citric acid to your dishwasher along with regular detergent to prevent hard water film and make glasses sparkle.
Facial Toner (Mild)
Mix a pinch of citric acid in 1 cup of distilled water with a few drops of essential oil (like lavender). Use a cotton pad to apply sparingly as a pH-balancing toner. Use with caution and test on a small area first.
Fruit & Vegetable Wash
Mix 1 teaspoon of citric acid in 1 liter of water to remove pesticides and extend the freshness of produce. Rinse well after use.
Odor Neutralizer for Trash Bins
Sprinkle a little citric acid at the bottom of your trash bin or compost container to absorb odors and reduce bacteria.
