Descaling with Citric Acid
When hard Water is heated, Calcium compounds - limescale - are deposited on the heating elements of appliances. Calcium deposits are cheMically alkaline, so just use acid to remove the deposits. But in practice it is more complicated. We must use a product that is safe for health and will not damage the cleaned device, i.e. plastics, metals or seals. Food-grade Citric Acid fits the bill. It works just as reliably as vinegar, it is also non-toxic, but not as aggressive. Its dilution is about two teaspoons per half liter of Water. There can be no objection to its use, as it is also used in the descaling products sold.

Espresso machines with a pressure pump (they have a Water tank without a pressure cap from which they draw Water) can only be descaled if this is stated in the instructions for use. Especially the more expensive models can be equipped with a decalcifier, which would be destroyed by conventional descaling. Models without a built-in decalcifier are decalcified in a similar way to single espressos.

Add 1 tablespoon (approx. 20 g) of Citric Acid to the washing machine for 1 wash cycle to prevent limescale build-up. For very hard Water, it's a good idea to pour one cup into the washing machine drum about once a month and let the washing cycle run on empty. There is no need to descale the washing machine when using phosphate-free detergents.

Characteristics
It is a weak acid from the carboxylic group. It occurs naturally in citrus fruits, especially Lemons, limes, grapefruit, Oranges and, to a lesser extent, other fruits and Vegetables.

Production
There are several methods of production. Citric Acid can be obtained naturally from citrus juice by fermenting raw sugar.However, common industrial production uses the fungal culture Aspergillus niger and Sucrose (mainly molasses, hydrolysed corn Starch or other cheaply obtained sugars). The addition of Calcium hydroxide (known as slaked lime) produces a salt from which sulphuric acid yields the final Citric Acid.Annual global production is estimated at 1.7 million tonnes, more than half of which is produced in China. 

Ingredients

crystalline Citric Acid (E 330).
Allergy information: the product may contain traces of gluten, milk and eggs.

Notice

Adverse effects:
In general, Citric Acid is considered a safe substance and can be added to all foods, including baby food, in the necessary amounts. In the USA it is included in the GRAS list of substances.Excessive use of Citric Acid can damage tooth enamel. For example, by eating Lemons themselves. Like all acids, it will cause an irritant reaction on contact with the eye, and in higher concentrations and quantities can cause blindness. However, the amount in food is far below this limit.

Additional information:
Thanks to alarmist chain emails, Citric Acid has been attributed with many bad properties, especially carcinogenicity. This is indeed a misinformation, which was caused by a wrong translation of the word Krebs. This word in German really means cancer, but in conjunction with Citric Acid it refers to the scientist Hans Krebs, who won the Nobel Prize in 1953 for discovering the so-called "cancer". Citrate cycle, sometimes also called the Krebs cycle.
