When I was little, I often saw my grandmother using lemon juice to clean his whole house.
She used it particularly to properly descale certain surfaces.
Years later, I realized that lemon was a powerful, fungicide, rust remover and limescale remover!
In addition, today, you no longer need to squeeze 40 lemons to obtain its precious juice.
This substance is available in a 100% natural and very practical dissolving powder.
So if you haven't yet incorporated citric acid into your daily household routine, expect to be surprised!
Discover 6 citric acid tips to descale and clean everything. Watch:
After a certain period of use, coffee machines scale up.
To remove limescale properly, apply this trick.
Dissolve 1 or 2 tablespoons of citric acid in 1L of cold water.
Pour the solution into the tank of the machine and start a 1st cycle for about 1 cup.
Leave to rest for 15 to 30 minutes
Repeat several cycles with the rest of the solution then rinse twice with clean water.
And it also works with white vinegar.
Just because it washes our laundry doesn't mean the washing machine cleans itself.
It is necessary to descale it, especially if you have very hard water.
For this, sprinkle 6 to 8 tablespoons in your drum and start a program at 90 degrees.
Of course, do this wash cycle without laundry!
There too, an alternative exists with white vinegar.
Your kettle bottom has become all white. It must be limestone!
In this case, dissolve 1 to 2 tablespoons of citric acid in 1L of water.
Pour the mixture into the kettle and bring to the boil for a few minutes.
Leave for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly with clear water.
With this tip, no more scale problems and especially no more white deposits in my tea!
White vinegar is also perfect for this kind of operation.
A few pans of your cookware are burnt?
No problem with this super simple trick to apply.
Dissolve 2 tablespoons of citric acid in 1 cup of water.
Pour the solution into the burnt pan and then heat the mixture for a few minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and everything becomes nickel again.
No more using sponges to scrub and scrub like crazy.
When we talk about tartar, we obviously think of its taps.
These are the first accessories that limestone attacks.
To restore your faucets to impeccable condition, use citric acid as follows.
Dissolve 2 to 5 tablespoons of our miracle product in 1L of hot water.
2 solutions are then available to you.
Either you go directly with a good sponge on the surfaces full of limestone.
Or you pour the solution on the scaled area and let it act for a few hours.
You just have to rinse well to find your taps all clean.
And to improve these 2 solutions even more, do not hesitate to mix a little coffee grounds with them.
What ? Didn't you know that coffee grounds can be used for so many things?!
A metal accessory left a little abandoned and presto, rust spots appear.
It often happens to me with my tools or on toilet fixtures.
The worst is when it happens on clothes!
Luckily, citric acid is there to help you remove those nasty reddish stains.
Simply pour or soak the stained area with a solution of citric acid and a little water.
Leave to act, rub gently then rinse.
Be careful, some materials do not support citric acid well (stones, marble, etc.).
So before applying this trick, do a test on a small, not very visible area.
And if one of your utensils (such as a barbecue grill) is really rusty all over, don't panic.
We also have the solution.
Take a can of coke out of the fridge and pour it into a basin with citric acid.
Dip your object in the solution and it comes out all nice and clean!
There you go, you now know how to ecologically descale and clean your everyday objects.
Easy, practical and effective, isn't it?
In addition, food grade citric acid is found everywhere.
In supermarkets such as Carrefour, Auchan, Leclerc, Intermarché, Franprix...
In local shops like Biocoop.
Or in DIY stores like Castorama, Leroy Merlin and Bricomarché.
So, ready to revolutionize cleaning at home?
