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.

Sodium citrate (which you can buy as a powder on Amazon) is a common ingredient in commercial degreasers/cleaners. Sodium citrate is a water softener and chelating agent which help the soap lather and rinse off, and it's also a pH buffer. As a buffer it helps keep the cleaner from damaging material by being too acidic or alkaline. So while it doesn't "boost" or make the cleaner stronger, sodium citrate can help a cleaner work better.
Citric acid and Oxiclean also create sodium citrate, but I don't know how much, and I'm not a chemist and have no idea how whether it would be beneficial in a particular DIY recipe. The good news is it's apparently not dangerous if you do experiment with it.
