Ingredients: Citric acid
Here are some ways you can clean with citric acid at home:
- Clean your toilet bowl- Creating a natural toilet bowl cleaner is easy. Just add a tablespoon into the water and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before flushing it away.
- De-gunk the dishwasher - Cleaning your dishwasher isn’t easy—unless you have citric acid on hand. Fill the detergent cup with the powder - a tablespoon or two should do it - and run the dishwasher on a hot cycle, letting it do its thing. All the grime and build-up hanging out in there will be broken down and rinsed away.
- Get rid of mineral deposits - Mineral deposits from hard water are tricky to get rid of - especially those on bathroom fixtures and sinks. Citric acid is a natural way to remove them, and all you need to do is add a few tablespoons to hot water, then scrub with a sponge and rinse.
- Clean surface areas - By adding a couple tablespoons of citric acid into a spray bottle filled with water, you’ll have a mixture you can use to clean your shower, kitchen countertops, and more. Just avoid using citric acid on natural stones, like granite and marble, as the acid will cause damage.
