NOW Foods, Citric Acid, Sprouting Aid, Great Substitute for Salt, Preservative Found in Citrus Fruits, 1-Pound Okay, so I've never used citric acid before, and I read the reviews here and I read one that said it's great to add to your dish washing detergent and it saves money because you less detergent and you can wash your veggies with a spoonful of the citric acid and just letting them soak so all the dirt, wax, pesticides can get off of the produce. So, I figured I want to try to do both things but I was so freaking excited that I've only done one. So I was going to wash dishes and remembered to add a teaspoon of citric acid to the soap dispenser and mine is orange so it because like a pastel orange and it became bubbly. I was very excited to try it so I began and OH MY GOD, I pumped the usual amount I use and it was too much! Lots of foam was forming and my dishes were squeaky clean!!!! Also, I didn't NEED to wash my dishes with hot water because in order to remove grease or food from them I always use hot water, they were so clean, like, genuinely clean that I didn't need to use hot water. Then, I do this mix to glass jars to remove odor from store bought sauces like, spaghetti sauce, I let them soak for DAYS with baking soda, white vinegar and I squeeze a lemon and drop the lemon in the jar. Days pass and I wash it and the smell of the sause is gone. I do that with glass containers that have oil in them. So I have a bottle that I needed to wash and so I thought great! What a day to do it then right now (because my dish detergent is on cr a ck lol) So I pumped soap, dumped some baking soda and vinegar, then I remember, this is going to save me lemons! (And right now they are pricey) So I dumped a teaspoon of citric acid and then I began to fill my ceramic bottle with water. Well, I didn't need DAYS or hours. I began to brush away the bottle and I didn't feel the water come out with "grease" it wasn't oily at all. So I rinsed and brushed rinsed and brushed and my bottle is now ready to be refilled with cooking oil ON THE VERY SAME DAY! Also, I've heard it's great to soak sliced apples with citric acid so they don't brown. I've get to try that! Oh and a huge PLUS, my hands felt so silky, smooth. My skin is soft and not dry. (shrugs shoulders). I was going to buy the 4 oz bottle but I decided to get the 1 pound bottle (16 oz). I'm so incredibly happy with this purchase and Im ready to get a bigger bottle, oh, originally I was seeking citric acid to normalize the PH on liquid. But now I'm even more excited because I want to wash my stove top and my air fryer with my dish detergent that's on ste roi ds because of the citric acid making it a great degreaser.
