Must buy for toilet tank. 18 years of hard water build up gone in a couple hours

Must buy for toilet tank. 18 years of hard water build up gone in a couple hours
All I have to do is to pour half a cup of citric acid in the toilet tank. Then I wait for 2-3 hours later and use the toilet brush to stir up all the residue at the bottom and flush. 18 years of hard water build up gone in a couple hours. No brush really needed. The before & after pictures speak for themselves. 😀

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for cleaning calcium/lime buildup in water distlller
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025
    Size: 5 PoundVerified Purchase
    I bought this to use for cleaning my water distiller. Works great and will certainly buy more when I run out. Only need a couple Tbsp per cleaning so the bag lasts a long time.

    Only negative is with the bag itself - after several uses I can't get the zip seal to work - I suspect it's due to stray crystals in the zipper function but with wiping and thumping the seal it still doesn't close properly. Thankfully the product doesn't seem to attract moisture as I haven't found any clumps with just folding over the top.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Here’s what happened…
    Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
    Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    In search of a solution to my nasty SCRUD washing machine deposits, I viewed/read about the benefits and abilities of citric acid as a cleaner.
    [OxiClean + C.A.powder. (“Ben’s Appliances and Junk” on YouTube). Thanks, Ben!]

    I immediately ordered the 2# bag and began searching Google for the various things that it can clean and the ‘recipes’ to do so.
    Here’s what I’ve found thus far…
    Basic cleaning solution: 1 Tbsp. citric acid / 1 Cup of hot water (or)
    1/4 Cup citric acid / gallon of hot water.

    Although, that differs from Milliard’s website and THEIR official recipe guide:
    https://www.milliardbrands.com/pages/citric-acid-user-guide-1

    DISCLAIMER: I did not look for/find this information until AFTER my test cleanings (described below). I just began culling from a lot of different online sites.
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<—————————>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    When it arrived, I began with the lime scale ring in my toilet’s bowl:
    I dumped 3 Tbsp. of powder into the bowl, dissolved it using the toilet brush, and waited 30 minutes. Well, as water in toilets finds its own level (due to gravity, traps, vents, etc.), the cleaning solution remained just UNDER the ring I was intending to remove. How is that going to work if the liquid is not even soaking the area I’m trying to clean? I added more water to the bowl until the level was back above the ring and the water line self-leveled again — to below the targeted area. I placed a bottle of water in the bowl, hoping the displacement would raise the cleaning solution enough — for long enough — to penetrate the stubborn ring and loosen the scale. Yet again, the water leveled-out to just under the ring. I give up! [Not knocking the Citric Acid at all…I’m sure it would do a fantastic job on bowl or tank stains that are UNDER the water line.]

    Ok, we’ll give this stuff another chance on the stubborn toilet ring — in a DRY bowl this time…

    I prepared the solution (4T/4C), turned off the water supply, flushed, and bailed as much water out of the bowl as possible. (Water level was 4-5” below the disgusting ring). I GENEROUSLY sprayed the bowl with the solution. I waited an hour and then saturated it again. Another hour elapsed and
    I returned to check the progress. Still a dried, rusty/yellow-colored ring remained. I scrubbed with the toilet brush…no change. I used a magic eraser dampened with the solution…not budging. And, not only does this stuff not work for me, it did NOT make the toilet smell any better, either!
    (NOPE!! Sticking to my Clorox T.B. cleaner, thanks.)

    Supposedly, it can de-gunk toilet TANKS as well:
    (Although mine were clean and I did NOT do this, I’m forwarding the method I’d found...)
    Turn off water supply. Flush to empty water from tank. Dump in 1 Cup citric acid powder and pour HOT water into the tank— to the stain line. Stir to dissolve. Let sit for at least an hour. Scrub down the insides a bit. Turn water supply back on. Flush. Let tank fill back up. Scrub again and flush again.

    Moving on…electric water kettle:
    As I only use fresh, filtered, dispensed refrigerator water in my kettle, I have never cleaned it. Whatever germs are in there are getting boiled and it’s left open to dry thoroughly after use. Plus, due to its electrical contacts, it cannot be submerged in water. Over many years of using it, a white, dotted limescale film has coated the bottom and pour spout. Not a big deal for me but it looks unsightly. I used 1 Tbsp. powder and 4 1/2 C of water in kettle, stirred to dissolve, let it come to a boil and then sit for 30 minutes. The limescale dots were softened and easily wiped off with a bottle brush. Rinsed out the kettle and it looks new inside! Ok…impressed. AND, no nasty vinegar odor in the house!

    Shower heads and faucet aerators:
    In a med/lg glass bowl, I dumped 1 TBSP citric acid and 4.5 Cups of boiling water. I stirred to dissolve, then tossed in my bathroom sinks’ aerators and shower head. I secured the shower head — water spray holes down — in the bowl so it would remain standing in the solution and not roll over on its side. I spooned some of the solution from the bowl into the threaded, upright end until it was full. I set my timer for the recommended 15 minutes…

    The aerators looked great! I rinsed them thoroughly with clean water and set them aside to dry. As for the shower head, I hadn’t cleaned it in awhile and the stubborn crust was still present after 15 minutes. Back into the bowl it went. I reset the timer for ANOTHER 15 and checked again…

    Well, with no scrubbing, the pinkish yuck was all gone! Some of the crusty white stuff remained, though. I proceeded to scrub the front of the head with a toothbrush and diligently poked a toothpick and/or paper clip into each of the various-sized spray holes as well. I then bobbed the shower head up and down in the bowl a few times before rinsing it out thoroughly with clean water.
    Reinstalled all — they work LIKE NEW! (Wonderful shower pressure now.)

    Patch of lime scale build-up on the dish drainer-side of stainless steel sink:
    I couldn’t get this one to work. I even gloved-up and tried with just a paste of citric acid on a brush and then on a paper towel…hoping both the chemical reaction and grittiness of the crystals would loosen the build-up — it didn’t budge. (More research required.)

    I tried again with 3 Tbsp. powder in a slurry mixture. I dabbed it on with a sponge, pressed plastic wrap down to cover the surfaces of application, and waited an hour. I then rubbed the sink with a damp, lightly-abrasive sponge and rinsed. This method DID NOT remove the thick patch. Water spots were still visible on the sides of the sink. The bottom of the sink looked a tad better, though the bottom isn’t really the problem.

    The next day, I sprayed the sink with the citric acid solution (above), let it sit for 20 minutes. Sprayed again and wiped it around with a sponge to eliminate the spotting of the spray. Waited an hour. Rinsed it all out…NOPE…still not satisfied.
    [I’ll be returning to my tried-and-true methods of Barkeeper’s Friend and Gel Gloss or Weiman’s S.S. cleaner/polish.]

    That annoying “DESCALE” message popped-up on the Keurig too. Trying that one next. Here’s what’s on the Milliard site:

    Coffee maker
    Add 2 TBSP of Milliard Citric Acid powder to your coffee maker and run it with 32 ounces of hot water for fresher and better-tasting coffee.

    I did this. Cannot tell if it’s properly descaled or not. Coffee tastes just as good as it did before, though. Certainly cheaper and less time-consuming than the recommended Keurig descale procedure — using their liquid descale solution.

    Hmmm….it’s been awhile. How do I get the ‘descale’ message to go off?
    FOUND IT: Make sure the power button is switched ‘OFF’. Press and hold the 8 oz. and 10oz. buttons — simultaneously — for 5+ seconds until the ‘descale’ light switches off.

    With all of this researching, boiling, measuring, stirring, soaking and scrubbing, I’ve failed to even TASTE this stuff…

    Taste-test: I stirred a 1/4 tsp. into 8 oz. of chilled water, as I wasn’t quite sure what the proper ratio should be. It DOES have a nice, lemon juice-like flavor. A tad sour with these measurements, though.
    A 1/4 tsp.+, with 16 oz. of water, might be a better mix if one prefers just a hint of something lemony in their water. If making a lemonade-type drink, and adding a sweetener, the 1/4 t. / 8 oz. + sweetness might just work!

    As I find more uses for this stuff, I’ll update this review.

    UPDATE: (kills bugs)
    Recently, I have absentmindedly left food bowls — that I set out for our neighbor’s visiting cat — outside. One still had food in it, the other was empty. Needless to say, hundreds of little piss-ants found both, and the bowls were COVERED with them!

    I’ve found that Windex works well to kill the ants instantly and enables me to then carry the bowls inside WITHOUT also bringing in any live 6-leggers. I used that method the first time on the bowl with remaining food (on the concrete). ALL DEAD! The second time (empty bowl on wood deck), I decided to grab my sprayer of citric acid solution to test IT out instead. WOW! It also worked great to kill those little b@$t@rd$ immediately!

    I’d read that it’s not good to spray this stuff on anything porous so, after I brought the bowls of dead ants in to clean them, I returned back to where I’d sprayed and rinsed the sprayed areas with water.
    Anyway, it seems to kill ants in a pinch. Who knew?

    A stink big made its way inside, too. I captured it in an empty PNB jar, sprayed some of the solution in there and capped it…within minutes, six toes up!

    Awesome for many uses. I use for canning to bring acidity up. MUCH less expensive than the "ball" brand. Also works good for cleaning, I also use this diluted to shine reloading brass but be sure to rinse well. If you don't rinse residue off brass will turn red or pink. A little bit goes a long way!

    This stuff is magic. Tried so many things to get scale buildup off my water kettle and nothing has ever touched it till this. One time boiling just a few minutes completely removed all scale. It even worked in the spout when I ran the brush in it. Also had stains in bottom of toilet that couldn’t be scrubbed away using any toilet cleaner including comet. Even tried soaking in bleach before scrubbing. But one application of this stuff and my toilet is white again. Amazing!!!

  • Not to much comfortable, packing was bad even vacum packing changes its shape and its foam which is important for comfort still its not getting the shape in which it should be, so according to me it's not worth it and not giving me satisfaction

    We use this citric acid for everything from baking to cleaning. I have a recipe for a lemon syrup for hot and cold drinks and it is adds a real depth of flavour. I have added a bit to my lemon puddings and lemon meringue pie. We like extra lemony tartness. We use it to clean off calcium and lime deposits from hard water. We use it to clean the pumps for our aquariums. Being able to use natural products is great. Fantastic product?

    I bought it to clean the scale deposits in my hot water dispenser. Works great ..... fast and effective and because it's food grade I don't have to worry too much about not rincing it thoroughly and leaving a bad chemical residue. Works best when use with hot water. Cheaper and safer than chemical clean.
