Milliard Citric Acid Powder Food Grade, 2 lb Bag, Bulk, 100% Pure, Non-GMO Project Verified, for Cleaning, Bath Bombs, Descaler, Dishwasher, Candy

I have been searching for a cleaner to get the hard water white scale off our shower doors and shower heads for more years than I care to admit. From CLR, to the green stuff, to Kaboom and vinegar, even barkeepers, I tried everything that promised to remove it. Some worked a little (barkeepers) but most didn't work at all. I saw this citric acid in a review of some other product that the reviewer said did not work. The reviewer said to skip the other product and try this. She called it a "miracle cleaner". OK, I was up for a miracle at this point. I figured it was worth a try. If it didn't work I could always use it to make sourdough bread. It's other name is "sour salt" when used in cooking. I diluted the powder 2 TB per 4 cups warm water as suggested. I poured it into a clean spray bottle. I sprayed the shower door. The white scale melted before my eyes. And I mean MELTED off the door. I rinsed the door with a 2 liter spray bottle (Hudson brand sold on Amazon) and the door was like new! No scrubbing, no nothing. How could this product have escaped my notice all these years? I googled citric acid and saw the many other uses for this product from cleaning the coffee pot, to cleaning tile and windows. The dirty grout in my kitchen...clean! The apple slices got soaked in a light solution before dehydrating.(Cheaper than lemon juice). Anything vinegar or lemon juice can do, this can do better. Enough said. This is exactly the same as "sour salt" in the small container. I bought this because I am never going to get a decent sourdough starter going. I've tried for several years: the hundreds of different techniques on hundreds of bread websites, the "Alaska dehydrated starter" that I ordered all the way from Utah, the "fresh starter" from some folks that said it was over 100 years old and used on the Oregon Trail no less. Well, it was time for plan Z (the cheaters way). Add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per dough recipe (about 3 cups flour) and add an extra tablespoon of yeast and you've got sourdough bread! The first time I used it, I didn't add extra yeast. I guess this salt inhibits yeast action. (same thing happened when I tried to make sourdough bread by adding vinegar.) The second time I used it to make rye bread, I added the extra yeast and it turned out perfectly. I have also used it for sweet and sour sauce. Vinegar is still my other sour ingredient in the sauce, but this adds a real kick. Lots of my grandma's "old country Russia" recipies use this sour salt. Cabbage and meatball recipe and many soups. Look on line for great "old country" recipies.

Great product. I use it to clean my reef tank pumps. Works great. Thank you

Works really well in the shower floor and remove all the old minerals.

This 5-pound bad of 100% pure, food-grade, non-GMO citric acid is exactly what I needed for my homemade toilet cleaning bombs. The quality is excellent—fine, clean, and easy to work with. I use it regularly and it never clumps or disappoints. Here’s my favorite recipe that I use to make my toilet cleaning bombs:: 1 1/4 c. baking soda 1/4 c. citric acid 1 T. water (added slowly) 25 drops orange/lemon/lavendar/peppermint essential oil 2 T. hydrogen peroxide (optional, but I add it for extra cleaning power) 1. I mix the baking soda and the citric together in a bowl. 2. In a separate bowl, I combine weather, essential oil and hydrogen peroxide. 3. I slowly add the wet mix to the dry mix stirring it constantly while I’m pouring it so it mixes well. 4. Once it starts to feel like wet sand, press it into the molds. 5. Allow it to mold and dry for 8-12 hours. 6. Store them in an airtight container. Whenever you want to use it in your toilet bowl, you drop it into the bowl itself and allow it to fizz. If you need to scrub with a brush, you can. I don’t because I use them often enough so nothing builds up. These leave the bathroom smelling so fresh and so clean! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING:: DO NOT mix this with any other cleaning products!! I ONLY use these solo by themselves!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ So, this citric acid is like a staaple in my home as I use it often in my DIY cleaning routine. Thus, I highly, highly recommend this for anyone making bath or toilet bombs.

Great product it just took forever to get here

I bought this to clean the hard water scale in our bathtub and it worked! Clean the surface with fish soap and then make a paste with the Citric acid and a little water and put on the scale. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then scrub off with a soft cloth or sponge. Works great!

This is a simple and amazing product. We've had issues with our dishwasher and washer (front load) smelling and not cleaning well. After 2 runs, both machines were near spotless! Will purchase again and again!

I bought this to clean my Keurig coffee maker. Instead instead of purchasing Keurig Descaler for one a time use. 1-2 teaspoons of this mixed with water (google directions) is a lot cheaper than purchasing the one Keurig sells and has many other household + uses too!
