So happy with this product! Amazing stuff - I originally bought this product for cleaning bottom residue of my water distiller as the water distiller residue cleaners as advertised are overpriced (Example £9.00 for 500g) & this product is currently £23.88 for 5kg so much more cost effective & it works a treat. really brilliant. I also had a cooking mishap with my pressure cooker last week, forgot about my veggies cooking & burned the inside bottom of pressure cooker thickly black (normally if a situation like that occured I have had to use the scouring pad & hot water with some cream cleaner & try scraping if off to & hope for the best & put a lot of elbow grease into it trying to get it off). This time I wet the bottom very slightly & thought I'd sprinkle some crystals over the black mess, which I did, a minute later I got sponge & literally all came up, no scratch, no effort, no getting sweaty trying to get if off. I'm completely amazed, couldn't believe it. I'm so impressed that I just ordered some more from this company. Review: My goto descaler for everything, which lasts for ages, also a useful as a rust remover! - Update 2025 I've used up about 4Kg in about 3 years, include nearly 1Kg to free-up an expensive, suspension seat post in a bicycle frame, so I'm buying more again, to ensure that I don't run out. It's also a bargain compare to commercial rust removers, and tested to work well, unlike some commercial products. It's best to use full-length chemical-proof gloves when using concentrated Citric Acid solution, to avoid skin sting and smell, removable by rubbing in ample baking soda then washing with soap. -------- It is far more economical and convenient solution than supermarket and appliance-specific packets of descalers. Being food grade, it is safe to run through my coffee machine, put in my kettle, and put a water heater. It can descale my washing machine bath and toilets. I can scoop out as much as I like to clear stubborn scale, if it doesn't all clear. ## Features - MAKE KITCHENS & BATHROOMS SPARKLE: Citric Acid has natural cleaning properties that can remove grime and dirt built up around the home, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms. Use to descale and remove rust from kettles and showerheads or remove watermarks on taps.

The product is an acid powder used in the food industry and part of the chemical formulae for making MMS and CDS.If I can answer a question I will do so but 'dimensions' are a little vague. Please be more specific. If you mean the size of container 5kg is exactly the same as a 5ltr plastic container. **Q: Can this product be used for descaling motorhome boilers and is it better than spirit vinegar** A: Citric acid is powder. So you’re getting more value for money. In my opinion it’s better, cheaper and less smelly. I own a cleaning company and from it I make my own cleaning products, clean the dishwasher, kettles, irons for jamming, lemonade etc.. So I would hazard a guess and say yes you can clean and descale your caravan boiler with it. Remember you are in control of the strength of the acid and how you dilute it. Unlike vinegar what is already diluted. However, I’d recommend you check the manufacturers instructions. **Q: do you have to mix this product with bicarbonated soda** A: I suppose it depends on what you are trying to make. I mix this with bicarbonate of soda; citric acid( with water taken out can't think of its chemical name ) and Epsom salts plus sucrose. It makes for me Health Salts that I take daily. Its the same as Andrews Liver Salts and flushes the system and clears up muscle cramps. **Q: Anybody know the best way to mix with water to make a solution that I can spray on the bathroom taps please? Thankyou.** A: just dissolve like sugar ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! So happy with this product!
