A Pack of Citric Acid (a natural limescale remover)

This paper resealable pack of citric acid is the ideal alternative to chemical limescale removers. Citric acid is a weak natural acid with descaling properties and a rust removing action. It’ also a natural disinfectant.

Wear natural rubber gloves and old clothing and wash hands after use. Keep away from eyes, children and pets (citrus is toxic to animal friend).
