Viva Doria 100% Pure Citric Acid, Food Grade, Fine Grain, 2 lb (907 g)

I purchased this looking for a more affordable alternative to pricy espresso machine descaling solution, and this bag fit the bill!I have a Breville Bambino Plus, and the machine comes with one pouch of brand-official descaling powder for your first descaling cycle. After I ran out, I searched for tons of alternatives. Urnex’s Dezcal came up as an option and seems to be very popular, but I wasn’t willing to spend that much for a handful of cleanings. Citric Acid does the job just as well for a fraction of the price — such a better value!Descale Recipe:All you need is 1tbsp of Citric Acid powder (or just 20g) per liter of water. Mix your citric acid with the water and fully dissolve it with a good stir before loading your machine with the descaling solution, run your descaling cycle, then rinse out your water tank and replace with fresh coffee water (I use Crystal Geiser spring water from California in my espresso machine! It’s recommended by LaMarzocco as an ideal coffee water. Pro tip!). And bam. A perfectly descaled machine and great tasting coffee! :)This particular bag was very affordable, and the fine grain dissolved quickly with a stir. Highly recommend, and it worked really well! :) So glad I opted for this instead of pricier options.

Works great in toilet tanks , gets the inside clean. Good price. arrived when promised. I recommend this product.

For what I use it for, it's perfect. I often put a teaspoon or two once a week in the toilet bowls overnight and it keeps the limescale and calcium from building up. Will remove old buildup quickly as well, if left overnight. Also use a teaspoon or two in the dishwasher to keep buildup off the stainless and removes the white haze on glasses and crystal. It's also food grade, so if you suffer from calcium oxalate kidney stones, a pinch in every glass of water will help keep stones from forming.

As I'm sure many people do, we have multiple uses for citric acid around our house and I've come to rely on this brand. With Viva Doria my results in making cleaners, soap, bath bombs, in recipes for my family has consistently good results. The cost is better via Amazon too. Absolutely worth the money and I highly recommend it.

I used this to make homemade dishwasher detergent. Worked good in the dishwasher, but it's so powerful it loosened all the gunk in my pipes and ended up with a major clog. If you want to clean pipes, go for it. If you have an older home, don't.

Purchased for cleaning and descaling, works great.

Granulated citric acid... I saw an on-line tip that said thisstuff is good for cleaning limescale build-upin toilets.... and yes, works perfectly!!

I now soak all fruits in this for around 10 mins before putting in glass jars. I just use the same big bowl with a tablespoon or so and rotate the fruit. I’ve noticed blueberries, blackberries and strawberries taste a whole lot sweeter after I soak them!! And I think this works like a natural sanitizer, so two birds 😊. I have also added it to lemonade to make it tangier and added it to Mt Dew - so much better!! I think this bag will last me years so it’s a great value. This is part of my shift to more natural, healthy products. I highly recommend it!
