Good value size for cooking and cleaning and bath bombs
Great for cleaning and bath bombs et. I am recovering from serious illness and have limited energy, funds and want to avoid chemicals. Look up Japanese cleaning with this and Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) WOW, it works and no harsh bleach or chemicals, saves me storage and expensive products. Baking Poweder and this are used differently, so Bicarb great for odaour and sparkling taps removng some reside. This great for cleaning brown staining. I use both now and good for cat ray washing (I have a stainless steel cat tray) as it doesn't harm my cat. I have used in food preserves to help with acidity when water bathing in a giant pot. Food lasted over a year. I made my own tomoato pasta sauce and added some of the citric acid to make it more acidic, it worked. SO easy, this brand is brilliant and good value.

I am really impressed
I got this because we have some nasty gunk in the bottom of our kettle. The water in our area is not especially good and the yucky stuff that's sitting in the bottom of our kettle is offputting. Having read that citric acid is some kind of miracle cure for cleaning out kettles and coffee makers, frankly I didn't believe it. But the cost of this big bag of citric acid powder is cheap enough that I didn't mind trying. I watched some YouTube videos to see how you're supposed to use it. So in my case I filled the kettle enough to just go past the MIN mark inside and I added 2 tablespoons of the powder, then boiled the kettle and let it stand for 5 minutes after it finished. Obviously I rinsed it out a couple of times and did a final fresh water boil just to finish off. I really didn't expect to see much difference, but good grief it was spotless. All the people who have said it works were telling the truth. I think in our case we probably need to do a clean maybe once a month so this big pack should last a long time. But ignoring the cost anyway, the peace of mind knowing that there isn't all that nasty stuff in the bottom of the kettle is well worth having. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it. I was very sceptical at first, but the proof is right in front of me. I'm sure there are other uses too, but all I wanted this for was the kettle. To say I'm impressed is an understatement.

Ideal
Plenty of citric acid for DIY cooking, cleaning, and crafts — great value for 2 kg. The powder dissolves easily and works well in preserving, adding tart flavour, or descaling kettles and appliances.

Saves a fortune on supermarket descalers
I bought this 2kg bag specifically to descale my kettle and some crusty pots, and it works incredibly well. You only need a couple of tea spoons mixed with hot water, and the limescale just melts away. It leaves everything completely clean and shiny without any harsh chemical smells. A lot cheaper than individual liquid descalers. It's food grade, I don't have to worry about using it on things I cook with.

Arksoy food grade citric acid is amazing.
I bought this as I had bought a digital urn to heat hot water..The manufacturer had recommended to use it to clean the limescale.Id never used it before so I had my doubts.I bought this Aksoy brand 2kg food grade.Boiled my urn put citric acid in the water gave it a stir with wooden spoon ..Honestly I could not believe my eyes after five minutes it was totally clean no limescale left at all it had totally dissolved..Apparently citric acid has been around for centuries. And is a natural ingredient.. it is fantastic to descale kettles and use as a cleaning aid..if you do decide to buy it make sure to buy food grade as it is safer to use.

If used for cleaning DO NOT mix with other cleaning agents.
Citric acid is excellent for cleaning aquarium equipment because it dissolves limescale, calcium deposits and hard water crust without leaving dangerous toxic residues behind when rinsed properly. Why it works: Limescale is mainly calcium carbonate. Citric acid reacts with it and breaks it down into water soluble compounds that rinse away easily. That fizzing you sometimes see is carbon dioxide being released as the limescale dissolves. Why aquarists use it: • Safe on glass • Safe on most plastics • Safe on filter housings • Safe on heaters and impellers • Much gentler than hydrochloric acid/spirit of salts • No harsh toxic fumes • Biodegradable • Easy to rinse away It is commonly used to clean: • External filters • Heater tubes • Spray bars • Glass lids • Pumps • Powerheads • Aquarium glass • Hard water stains Typical mix ratio: Light cleaning: • 1 to 2 tablespoons per litre of warm water Heavy limescale: • 4 to 6 tablespoons per litre of warm water Or roughly: • Around 5% solution for normal cleaning • Up to 10% for stubborn scale How to use it: Remove equipment from aquarium Mix citric acid into warm water Soak equipment from 30 minutes to several hours Use old toothbrush or soft brush if needed Rinse thoroughly with clean water Refit equipment For severe scale: • Warm solution works faster • Overnight soak is fine for most plastics and glass Avoid: • Natural marble/limestone decorations • Long soaks on bare metals • Mixing with bleach or other chemicals Compared with spirit of salts: Citric acid is slower but vastly safer and easier to control. Spirit of salts can damage seals, metals, skin, lungs and even produce dangerous fumes. Citric acid is much more forgiving for routine aquarium maintenance. It will not bleach clothes like chlorine bleach does, but concentrated powder can slightly lighten some fabrics if left sitting damp on them. Usually just rinse it off.

Great citric acid for cleaning and odour removal
Very practical for natural cleaning around the home I ordered this citric acid mainly for household cleaning, and it has been very practical and easy to use. What I like: • The product arrived well packaged in two bags 2kg each, which makes it convenient to store and use. • The powder dissolves well and works effectively for cleaning. • I mainly use it mixed with sodium bicarbonate as a natural alternative to chemical cleaners. • This combination works very well for: • dishwasher cleaning • washing machine cleaning • removing unpleasant odours • toilet cleaning • It’s a simple and effective way to keep the house clean without using harsh chemicals. Things to note: • This is a strong cleaning ingredient, so it should be used as intended and stored carefully. Overall: A very versatile and practical product if you prefer natural cleaning solutions. Good quality, convenient packaging, and works exactly as expected.
