Citric acid<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0a natural preservative and antioxidant product common in many industries, such as cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals. It is an organic acid present in a large variety of fruits, especially citrus fruits, although most of the citric acid on the market is obtained through the fermentation of sugars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely used as a food preservative, citric acid is also a very powerful ally for household cleaning, and can be used in many different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below we suggest the main and most important  uses of citric acid<\/strong>  in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Remove rust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prepare a solution consisting of half a liter of water and two tablespoons of citric acid, pour into a spray bottle and shake well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray the solution on the rusty object to be recovered, then scrub well with a toothbrush and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The object will have returned to its original appearance. She reminds you not to use it on aluminum objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Recover burnt pots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although some may seem unsalvageable, most burnt pans can be salvaged with citric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill the pot with water, add two tablespoons of citric acid and bring to a boil. The pot will be as good as new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Unclog a blocked drain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is not necessary to buy aggressive products to unclog a blocked drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply pour half a glass of citric acid and half a glass of bicarbonate down the drain. Immediately afterwards pour half a glass of hot water and wait for the ingredients to have their almost miraculous effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Disinfect surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the functions of citric acid is its ability to disinfect and thoroughly clean surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix 100 grams of citric acid with a liter of hot water, and use the solution to clean and disinfect surfaces such as kitchens, except marble. Rinse with plenty of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Descale the washing machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To eliminate limescale and impurities that accumulate in the washing machine, wash without load and at maximum temperature, placing a liter of water mixed with 150 grams of citric acid in the detergent compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Clean the carpets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the best-known trick involves the use of bicarbonate, citric acid is also very effective in cleaning carpets, eliminating any type of dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix 100 grams of citric acid with a liter of water in a spray bottle and apply directly to the carpet. Scrub and rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Remove limescale from the shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The shower head is prone to limescale accumulation, which compromises its effectiveness. Unscrew it and immerse it in a bag filled with a solution composed of 150 grams of citric acid for each liter of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also add a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda and let it rest for an hour. Finally, rinse, reconnect the shower head and let the water run for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Clean the toilet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its cleaning and disinfectant properties, citric acid is one of the most effective products for cleaning the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkle a little baking soda over the entire surface of the toilet and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then put the same amount of citric acid and scrub well with a brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, rinse with plenty of water and dry well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
