Frequently Asked Questions
Questions? We have the answers!
Citric acid is a natural organic acid, found in nature in citrus fruits and produced industrially through the fermentation of vegetable sugars with selected microorganisms. It has many household uses: Descaler for washing machines, dishwashers, faucets, showers, kettles, irons; Neutralizer for alkaline detergent residues in the final laundry rinse (useful in hard water); Mild degreaser for ceramic, steel, and glass surfaces; Surface sanitizer for containers, tanks, and cisterns.
Partly, and it is right to be clear about the difference. What citric acid does in laundry: it sequesters limescale from the wash water, neutralizes alkaline detergent residues, and reduces fabric stiffness caused by calcium deposits. In hard water (like that in many parts of Italy, including the North), the effect is clearly noticeable: the laundry is softer to the touch and less "stiff." What citric acid does NOT do: it does not deposit a lubricating film on the fibers (the typical function of traditional fabric softeners) and it does not scent the laundry. In practice: if you find your laundry is stiff mainly due to limescale, citric acid can functionally replace fabric softener. If you are looking for the intense fragrance and the "cottony" feel of traditional softeners, citric acid will give a different, more natural, and less "cosmetic" effect on the laundry.
Do not use on marble, travertine, limestone, or natural polished surfaces: the acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the stone and dulls it. Do not use on untreated aluminum for prolonged exposure, it may cause corrosion. Never combine with bleach, sodium hypochlorite, or chlorine-based products, as it releases irritating vapors. Always check your appliance manual before use (some manufacturers provide specific instructions). Do not leave silver, polished brass, or delicate metals soaking for prolonged periods.
No. Citric acid is odorless.
Commercial descalers are often composed of citric acid (or formic acid) + surfactants + dyes + fragrances + a lot of water, which is a solution already diluted in a plastic bottle. By buying citric acid in powder form and dissolving it in water as needed: You eliminate the transport of water (which accounts for 90-95% of the weight of a liquid descaler); You eliminate the plastic bottle; You reduce the cost per application: pure citric acid costs much less per functional unit; You simplify the formulation at home: no added surfactants, dyes, or perfumes. It is a choice of essentiality: fewer ingredients, less plastic, less transport, the same effectiveness on main tasks.
The packaging is made of C/PAP 81 paper, Aticelca C certified; it can be disposed of in the paper recycling bin.
