Benefits of Citric Acid
There are many reasons to add citric acid to food, medicine, or other products.
• Preserve food: used to keep food fresh for longer periods. In some cases, it may prevent foodborne botulism, an illness that can be caused by home-canned foods that are low in acid.
• Preserve personal care products: keep cosmetics and other products fresh for longer.
• Have protective effects on the body: used in medicine can kill bacteria and lower the acid in urine.
• Remove tough stains: Citric acid has a bleaching effect and is only suitable for white laundry
How to DIY your stain remover:
Soak the clothes for a few hours with 10-15 g of acid per litre of water and then machine wash as usual. The sweat and deodorant stains will disappear.
How to make your laundry soft:
Dissolve 5-6 tablespoons of citric acid in 1 litre of water and add 2 dosing caps to the fabric softener compartment for each wash. With the help of citric acid, stubborn dirt is thoroughly removed from clothing, and sensitive skin is better protected.
