  • Best cleaner for mineral deposits in my kettle!!!
Size: 5 Pound
Why did I now just buy this? I've heard about using citric acid for cleaning the mineral deposits at the bottom of my kettle but didn't bother cause vinegar has worked just fine. Well, I was out of vinegar and I used quite a bit of it every 2 weeks when I cleaned my kettle so I decided to give this a try when I was looking to buy a "proper" cleaner for my kettle. Holy smokes does this work magic! 2 tablespoons is all you need and the 5lb bag will last me at least into in the next year. I just put water in my kettle, dump in 2 tbsps and turn it on, letting the water boil and the citric acid do it's magic. This works a lot better than straight vinegar and probably cheaper too (vs 1 cup vinegar)! It doesn't leave a scent in my kitchen unlike the vinegar. Highly recommend and will definitely be getting the larger bag once I run out! ... show more

I regularly run this in my dishwasher to keep buildup at bay. This stuff is cheap and amazing, and basically what is in the tablets you buy but for way less.

  • Happy With Purchase
Size: 2 Pound
Loved that this product was delivered promptly, whereas another product I ordered was "lost" and waited 2 weeks to get that information. I bought this citric acid as a means to make my own dish detergent powder and it came out perfect! The citric acid is nice and fine and worked great in the recipe I had. I will definitely be purchasing this again! ... show more

  • Here’s what happened…
Size: 2 Pound
In search of a solution to my nasty SCRUD washing machine deposits, I viewed/read about the benefits and abilities of citric acid as a cleaner. [OxiClean + C.A.powder. (“Ben’s Appliances and Junk” on YouTube). Thanks, Ben!] I immediately ordered the 2# bag and began searching Google for the various things that it can clean and the ‘recipes’ to do so. Here’s what I’ve found thus far… Basic cleaning solution: 1 Tbsp. citric acid / 1 Cup of hot water (or) 1/4 Cup citric acid / gallon of hot water. Although, that differs from Milliard’s website and THEIR official recipe guide: https://www.milliardbrands.com/pages/citric-acid-user-guide-1 DISCLAIMER: I did not look for/find this information until AFTER my test cleanings (described below). I just began culling from a lot of different online sites. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<—————————>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When it arrived, I began with the lime scale ring in my toilet’s bowl: I dumped 3 Tbsp. of powder into the bowl, dissolved it using the toilet brush, and waited 30 minutes. Well, as water in toilets finds its own level (due to gravity, traps, vents, etc.), the cleaning solution remained just UNDER the ring I was intending to remove. How is that going to work if the liquid is not even soaking the area I’m trying to clean? I added more water to the bowl until the level was back above the ring and the water line self-leveled again — to below the targeted area. I placed a bottle of water in the bowl, hoping the displacement would raise the cleaning solution enough — for long enough — to penetrate the stubborn ring and loosen the scale. Yet again, the water leveled-out to just under the ring. I give up! [Not knocking the Citric Acid at all…I’m sure it would do a fantastic job on bowl or tank stains that are UNDER the water line.] Ok, we’ll give this stuff another chance on the stubborn toilet ring — in a DRY bowl this time… I prepared the solution (4T/4C), turned off the water supply, flushed, and bailed as much water out of the bowl as possible. (Water level was 4-5” below the disgusting ring). I GENEROUSLY sprayed the bowl with the solution. I waited an hour and then saturated it again. Another hour elapsed and I returned to check the progress. Still a dried, rusty/yellow-colored ring remained. I scrubbed with the toilet brush…no change. I used a magic eraser dampened with the solution…not budging. And, not only does this stuff not work for me, it did NOT make the toilet smell any better, either! (NOPE!! Sticking to my Clorox T.B. cleaner, thanks.) Supposedly, it can de-gunk toilet TANKS as well: (Although mine were clean and I did NOT do this, I’m forwarding the method I’d found...) Turn off water supply. Flush to empty water from tank. Dump in 1 Cup citric acid powder and pour HOT water into the tank— to the stain line. Stir to dissolve. Let sit for at least an hour. Scrub down the insides a bit. Turn water supply back on. Flush. Let tank fill back up. Scrub again and flush again. Moving on…electric water kettle: As I only use fresh, filtered, dispensed refrigerator water in my kettle, I have never cleaned it. Whatever germs are in there are getting boiled and it’s left open to dry thoroughly after use. Plus, due to its electrical contacts, it cannot be submerged in water. Over many years of using it, a white, dotted limescale film has coated the bottom and pour spout. Not a big deal for me but it looks unsightly. I used 1 Tbsp. powder and 4 1/2 C of water in kettle, stirred to dissolve, let it come to a boil and then sit for 30 minutes. The limescale dots were softened and easily wiped off with a bottle brush. Rinsed out the kettle and it looks new inside! Ok…impressed. AND, no nasty vinegar odor in the house! Shower heads and faucet aerators: In a med/lg glass bowl, I dumped 1 TBSP citric acid and 4.5 Cups of boiling water. I stirred to dissolve, then tossed in my bathroom sinks’ aerators and shower head. I secured the shower head — water spray holes down — in the bowl so it would remain standing in the solution and not roll over on its side. I spooned some of the solution from the bowl into the threaded, upright end until it was full. I set my timer for the recommended 15 minutes… The aerators looked great! I rinsed them thoroughly with clean water and set them aside to dry. As for the shower head, I hadn’t cleaned it in awhile and the stubborn crust was still present after 15 minutes. Back into the bowl it went. I reset the timer for ANOTHER 15 and checked again… Well, with no scrubbing, the pinkish yuck was all gone! Some of the crusty white stuff remained, though. I proceeded to scrub the front of the head with a toothbrush and diligently poked a toothpick and/or paper clip into each of the various-sized spray holes as well. I then bobbed the shower head up and down in the bowl a few times before rinsing it out thoroughly with clean water. Reinstalled all — they work LIKE NEW! (Wonderful shower pressure now.) Patch of lime scale build-up on the dish drainer-side of stainless steel sink: I couldn’t get this one to work. I even gloved-up and tried with just a paste of citric acid on a brush and then on a paper towel…hoping both the chemical reaction and grittiness of the crystals would loosen the build-up — it didn’t budge. (More research required.) I tried again with 3 Tbsp. powder in a slurry mixture. I dabbed it on with a sponge, pressed plastic wrap down to cover the surfaces of application, and waited an hour. I then rubbed the sink with a damp, lightly-abrasive sponge and rinsed. This method DID NOT remove the thick patch. Water spots were still visible on the sides of the sink. The bottom of the sink looked a tad better, though the bottom isn’t really the problem. The next day, I sprayed the sink with the citric acid solution (above), let it sit for 20 minutes. Sprayed again and wiped it around with a sponge to eliminate the spotting of the spray. Waited an hour. Rinsed it all out…NOPE…still not satisfied. [I’ll be returning to my tried-and-true methods of Barkeeper’s Friend and Gel Gloss or Weiman’s S.S. cleaner/polish.] That annoying “DESCALE” message popped-up on the Keurig too. Trying that one next. Here’s what’s on the Milliard site: Coffee maker Add 2 TBSP of Milliard Citric Acid powder to your coffee maker and run it with 32 ounces of hot water for fresher and better-tasting coffee. I did this. Cannot tell if it’s properly descaled or not. Coffee tastes just as good as it did before, though. Certainly cheaper and less time-consuming than the recommended Keurig descale procedure — using their liquid descale solution. Hmmm….it’s been awhile. How do I get the ‘descale’ message to go off? FOUND IT: Make sure the power button is switched ‘OFF’. Press and hold the 8 oz. and 10oz. buttons — simultaneously — for 5+ seconds until the ‘descale’ light switches off. With all of this researching, boiling, measuring, stirring, soaking and scrubbing, I’ve failed to even TASTE this stuff… Taste-test: I stirred a 1/4 tsp. into 8 oz. of chilled water, as I wasn’t quite sure what the proper ratio should be. It DOES have a nice, lemon juice-like flavor. A tad sour with these measurements, though. A 1/4 tsp.+, with 16 oz. of water, might be a better mix if one prefers just a hint of something lemony in their water. If making a lemonade-type drink, and adding a sweetener, the 1/4 t. / 8 oz. + sweetness might just work! As I find more uses for this stuff, I’ll update this review. ... show more

Size: 5 Pound
I use this to clean my water distiller, pressure cookers and pans. For that purpose it works wonders. Dump in some water, pour in some granuales and heat. It took burnt meat right off the skillet and it took the residue out of the distiller with no problem. Just washed and rinsed after use and they look pristine. ... show more

  • Dissolved hard water build-up on our Tiger hot water dispenser
Size: 5 Pound
This product is awesome. Our Tiger hot water dispenser stopped pouring out hot water from the dispenser, but the motor was still running. DIY videos online shared by other users had them disassembling the hot water dispenser. I opted for the video made by the manufacturer and their video showed them using Citric Acid to do a deep clean on the machine to dissolve the hard water mineral buildup inside the unit. I'm glad I chose to do their suggestion because it worked for us. Our Tiger hot water dispenser is working again and the hard water mineral buildup inside the unit was gone. Glad we didn't have to disassemble or even throw our Tiger hot water dispenser away. Saved us lots of money. I'm very happy with this product. Would recommend. It's also good as a toilet water reservoir cleaner. ... show more
