It is available commercially in powder or crystal form. This can dissolve even the most stubborn deposits, especially those that form in sinks, showers, and appliances. It is also perfect for cleaning glass and making it shine. Furthermore, because it is a powerful descaler, it can be used instead of fabric softener. In fact, it is limescale that makes fabrics hard and dry. Citric acid is very well-known because a single substance can yield a multi-purpose solution. When used correctly, it is truly powerful and, above all, eco-friendly. It also allows for a reduction in the purchase of many polluting detergents, is low in concentration, and therefore not harmful, nor does it damage our respiratory system. Being a descaling substance, it can be used on all surfaces except marble and wood, as it may corrode them.
