I started adding citric acid to my dishwasher before every cycle last year after phosphorous-free dishwasher detergents became ubiquitous. I then discovered that it has a lot of other uses around the house:
- Preserves fruit and vegetable color: Apples, pears, banana, potato, avocado, or any other fruit can be kept fresh looking with a light sprinkle of citric acid to prevent oxidation and browning. Sprinkle like salt and then toss lightly. Use sparingly. Correct flavor with some sugar if you overuse.
- Dishwasher additive: Put half detergent and half citric acid in the sealed compartment of the dispenser. This will make your silverware and glassware shine, even in hard water. You won't need a rinse aid, either. Do not clean teflon cookware or fine crystal like this.
- Glassware cleaner: Mineral spots and tea stains dissolve rapidly. Make a mild solution in a dishpan (1 Tbsp per 2 gallons) and soak for 2 or 3 minutes, wipe inside and out with a sponge dampened in the solution, and then rinse.
- Window and shower door cleaner: A stronger solution - 2 Tbsp per gallon of water - will remove hard water stains from windows and glass doors. Rinse well and keep out of eyes. Sensitive skin should be protected. This solution should also remove hard water spots from chrome and nickel fixturing, but I haven't tried it. Yet. (Test on an inconspicuous surface first.)
- Fruit and vegetable rinse: The same strength solution in cold water makes an excellent rinse for vegetables and fruit that may have been exposed to bacteria or mold. It won't "unrot" produce, but it will make produce that has been exposed to rotted stock safer to eat. I use this as a bath for potatoes and root vegetables before scrubbing so that I can keep the skins on...
- Coffeemaker cleaning: removes mineral residue without leaving a vinegary taste in the coffee. Run a medium solution thru a brew cycle: 1 Tbsp per pot of tepid water. Follow with a pot of fresh water to rinse.
- Rust remover: A strong solution (1/4 cup per gallon of water) and a stiff brush will remove rust from cast iron, etc. Rinse the iron item with a mild baking soda solution and then with fresh water. Towel dry and then heat the item gently to evaporate any remaining water, then coat with soy oil (cookware) or light machine oil (tools, etc). If the item is cast iron cookware, proceed with seasoning. Wear gloves, rinse tools well, and dilute the unused mixture before discarding.
- Aquarium pH balance: I haven't tried this, but I suspect this is the same chemical in the "pH Down" solution that I pay a small fortune for in the pet store. Tap water in my neighborhood is very alkaline, almost 7.8 pH, and most fish prefer water closer to 7.0. If you try this, titrate and measure carefully and let me know how your mollies and corie cats tolerate it. :)
This chemical is more useful around the house as Baking Soda. More people should know about it, and maybe then it wouldn't be so hard to find.

Hard water stains in toilet? This is eco-friendly and makes a big dent in the scale. Dishwasher not working up to expectations? Put some citric acid in with the regular detergent and see improvement. Drain running slowly? Dump some citric acid in and let it sit. Then follow with baking soda and the gunk is eaten away. All non-toxic and neutral. Good stuff.

I had been purchasing Lemishine for use in the dishwasher - we have very hard water. But I found this on line and ounce for ounce, this is a much better price! And it does the job.
