Elbow Grease Citric Acid - 250G

No, as it is an acid, it is not safe for all surfaces. Avoid using it on natural stone (like marble, granite), unsealed grout, cast iron, aluminum, brass, copper, or any surfaces with delicate finishes. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure.

Add 1-2 scoops of Elbow Grease Citric Acid to your kettle, fill it with water, and bring it to a boil. Let the solution sit in the kettle for 15-30 minutes (longer for heavy limescale), then empty it and rinse thoroughly multiple times with fresh water.

Yes, it can be used to descale dishwashers and washing machines. For a dishwasher, place 2-3 scoops in the detergent dispenser or a bowl on the top rack and run an empty hot cycle. For washing machines, add 3-4 scoops directly into the detergent drawer or drum and run a hot empty cycle.

Yes, it is considered an environmentally friendly cleaning option. It is 100% natural, derived from citrus fruits, and biodegradable, making it a more eco-conscious choice compared to many harsh chemical cleaners.

For general cleaning tasks, a good starting point is 1 scoop of Elbow Grease Citric Acid dissolved in 500ml to 1 liter of warm water. You can adjust the concentration as needed for tougher stains or heavier mineral deposits, but always start with a weaker solution.

While citric acid is an excellent cleaner, descaler, and stain remover, its primary function is not to sanitize or disinfect. It can inhibit the growth of some bacteria and mold due to its acidity, but for germ-killing purposes, a dedicated disinfectant should be used.

For stubborn limescale or tough stains, try increasing the concentration of the citric acid solution or allowing a longer soaking time. You may also need to repeat the application. For appliance descaling, consider running a second cycle.

This often indicates that the surface was not rinsed thoroughly enough. After using citric acid, always rinse the treated area or appliance multiple times with clean, fresh water to ensure all residue is removed.

Ensure you are using warm or hot water for mixing, as this significantly aids dissolution. Stir the solution thoroughly for a minute or two until all granules are dissolved before use. If using cold water, it may take longer or require more vigorous stirring.

This is likely due to the citric acid reacting negatively with an incompatible material, such as natural stone, unsealed grout, or certain metals. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area before full application. If damage occurs, it may not be reversible, but for mild dullness, polishing might help.

While the included scoop is convenient, you can use any standard kitchen spoon as a substitute. A typical teaspoon is roughly equivalent to 1-2 grams of citric acid, so adjust based on the required dosage. You can also estimate the volume needed.
