Product Information

Improved Cleaning – If you live in an area with hard water, then detergents cannot soap & sud properly. The minerals in hard water (usually calcium and magnesium) prevent detergent from soaping up and sudsing properly. Citric Acid binds those minerals, resulting in water which is now soft, allowing detergents to do their job. Often when the water is soft less detergent is needed. Cosmetic formulations – Citric Acid is often present in hair care products as an anti-dandruff agent in shampoos.

Bath Bombs – Bath bombs are a fun way to mineralise your body. A Bath Bomb would not be a Bath Bomb without Citric Acid. The three main ingredients of Bath Bombs are Citric Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate and Epsom Salt. When this combination is blended and added to hot water, the carbon dioxide in the Bicarb Soda reacts with the Citric Acid resulting in a wonderful bubbling, fizzing, effervescent sensation as you soak. Windows – to clean dirty windows, blend a tablespoon of Citric Acid with a litre of water. Pour into a spray bottle, spray, wipe and hey presto! As a de-scaler – Use to remove mineral scale from washing machines, dishwashers, shower heads, even coffee makers. To descale the washing machine, add a couple of scoops to hot water, no clothes, and run a full cycle. With the dishwasher, add it to your detergent and be amazed at the sparkle and shine of dishes and cutlery.As a clothes softener – If you usually use a water softener or are in an area with hard water due to mineralisation (high in calcium and magnesium), then Citric Acid can be added to the laundry rinse in place of a commercial water softener. The amount to use will vary from situation to situation. If you are in an area with hard water more will be needed. Also, more is needed for larger washes. A bit of experimentation is needed. Possibly start with adding a tablespoon and increase the quantity if need be. Cosmetic formulations – Citric Acid is often present in hair care products, for example, as an anti-dandruff agent in shampoos. The highest concentration of naturally occurring Citric Acid is found in lemons & limes, but also present in other citrus & strawberries. It is described as a weak organic acid and is a natural preservative found in living cells, both animal and plant.
