How to use Citric Acid Andydrate?
As a cleaning agent
Citric acid kills bacteria and fungi, making it an excellent way to clean and disinfect all kinds of things. It also works effectively in removing soap scum, hard water stains, limescale, limescale, and rust.
As a preservative
Citric acid is a natural antioxidant that is often found in soaps, conditioners, shampoos, and skin and hair care products. This is often combined with potassium sorbate. Together, they form a powerful preservative.
As a pH regulator
Citric acid is widely used to adjust the pH (acidity) of a formulation. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of less than 7 is acidic, a pH of 7 is neutral, and a pH higher than 7 is basic/alkaline. By adjusting the acidity, unwanted bacteria in various products can be avoided.
