This citric acid is a versatile cleaner for espresso machines, kettles, washing machines, dishwashers, and rust or hard water buildup, and it also doubles as a food ingredient and preservative. It is described as gentler than vinegar on rubber seals and useful in dishwasher rinse cycles for clearer glasses and fewer deposits. The deal math is strong, with the second bag free and Subscribe and Save bringing the price under $8 or to about $3.52 per pound on larger buys. Keep it away from OxiClean in the washer, since that combination is called out as ineffective.

Common Questions (5)

  • It works as a descaler for espresso machines and electric kettles, and it's also used for washing machines and other appliances. A small amount can be run through a washer cleaner cycle, and it helps remove hard-water deposits and soap scum.

  • Citric acid should not be mixed with OxiClean if the goal is a simple washer clean, because the two are alkaline/acidic and can neutralize into sodium citrate rather than boosting the cleaner. Baking soda plus citric acid produces sodium citrate and CO2, which can still help as a water softener and chelating agent in some DIY cleaners.

  • The deal requires adding two bags to the cart so the second one is free, making the price effectively for one bag. With Subscribe & Save, the 4 lb bag reportedly drops to under $8, and a larger 5 lb option can reach about $17.99 with max S&S.

  • It can work as a cheaper rust remover than store-bought products, and it is also used in food and drinks as a lemon substitute, preservative, and ingredient in dips.

  • Yes. A half teaspoon in the rinse cycle can help keep glasses clearer and reduce hard-water deposits in hard-to-reach dishwasher parts without interfering with detergent.

I bought some to clean out my espresso machine and it worked like magic. And since then, I've cleaned several other things with it. I think every house should have citric acid in it for water deposits.

Good for cleaning the washing machine and other devices. This is half the price compared to others on Amazon.

Citric Acid is good for several various uses including what you're mentioning as laundry detergent is basic (pH 7 to 11) and going the opposite of that would help cut down on soap scum left behind from human oils, hard water, and lint. I think it's better than acetic acid (vinegar) on rubber seals etc. Citric acid is gentler on components in general. Good stuff!

Add two to the cart. The second is free, so the price will be as if you ordered one. Such a great deal.

Yup, me too. Don't need to buy those expensive descaler products they market for espresso machines, this works just the same. And good for descaling electric kettles too.
