What is citric acid and its uses

It occurs naturally as a product of metabolism in all organisms of the plant kingdom. Lemon juice contains 5-7% citric acid and is also found in fruits such as citrus fruits, apples, pears and berries.

Citric acid is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. It can be used for food preservation, cleaning, laundry, cleaning or descaling.

It regulates acidity and alkalinity in foods and helps prevent the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds. It acts as an antioxidant in fats and oils, where it prevents undesirable effects such as rancidity or discoloration.

It is found in foods such as soft drinks, juice, instant drinks, fats and oils, marmalade, frozen fruit or dairy products, mayonnaise and more.

Recommended dosage for descaling

Dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of citric acid in 0.5-1 l of clean water and then let it flow through the machine.

Great for cleaning deposits in your kettle - just use a spoon for normal dirt (spoon for larger), fill the kettle to max and turn on to 100 ^oC. Leave for a while and then pour. The kettle will be beautifully clean.

How to clean your toilet well, cheaply and, above all, non-toxically

Nobody exactly loves cleaning the toilet, but we have to do it regularly. This recipe for homemade non-toxic toilet tablets could make your job easier. They remove limescale and disinfect without poisons and irritants.

Raw materials

• 1 tablespoon of baking soda
• 1/4 cup citric acid
• ½ teaspoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of 6% hydrogen peroxide solution
• 15-20 drops of any essential oil
• If you don't have vinegar and hydrogen peroxide on hand, you can achieve a similar result by adding a few drops of dishwashing gel to the soda and acid.

Procedure

• Pour the baking soda into a bowl - glass, plastic or hardened bowls are best.
• Add the citric acid and stir.
• In another bowl, carefully mix together the hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.
• Carefully start adding the liquid mixture to the dry, preferably in small spoonfuls.
• We must proceed very slowly to avoid a strong chemical reaction.
• The last (optional) step is to add the essential oil. This step is just to make the final product more pleasant.
• Using a measuring cup, transfer the mixture to the baking paper so that only small balls, looking like rum pralines, are formed.
• Alternatively, use a silicone ice mould.

• Leave them to dry for 4-8 hours in this form.
• Toilet tablets should be stored in a closed glass container to prevent unnecessary moisture from entering.
• One bead/tablet will safely clean and disinfect your toilet.
