Why anhydrous
More active citric acid in every scoop
The adjective anhydrous means "without water". Unlike citric acid monohydrate, whose crystals retain around 8-9% of their weight in water, anhydrous citric acid contains only citric acid. In a 5 kg format, this difference means several hundred grams more active product than the same amount of monohydrate.
Higher yield
Since the crystals contain no water, each scoop provides more active acid and a smaller dose is required.
Stays free-flowing
It absorbs less moisture and stays in powder form for longer, which is key in a large bucket.
Fast dissolving
Its fine powder dissolves in warm water in just a few seconds, making it ideal for preparing recipes in bottles.
Homemade recipes
Three cleaning products you can make with citric acid
With a 5 kg bucket, you will have more than enough to make your own products and replace several conventional cleaners. Prepare them in clean containers, label them, and keep them out of reach of children.
Homemade fabric softener
- 150 g of citric acid
- 1 litre of warm water
Dissolve and add about 60 ml to the fabric softener compartment. It leaves clothes soft and helps prevent limescale buildup in the washing machine.
Dishwasher rinse aid
- 100 g of citric acid
- 400 ml of water
Fill the rinse aid reservoir with this mixture. It reduces white marks on glasses and cups.
Toilet fizzing tablets
- 1 part citric acid
- 2 parts baking soda
Moisten slightly, shape into a tray, and leave to dry. Drop a tablet into the toilet, wait for it to fizz, and brush.
Baking soda and citric acid make a great team for natural cleaning. If you want to learn more about the other ingredient in the recipe, see the uses of baking soda at home.
