Are you looking for an effective solution to clean your bathroom? Or perhaps you’re searching for a product that will bring back the shine in your kitchen?
There are several cleaning products in the market, though some fail in terms of performance. Some are too expensive for the average home while others arenot environment-friendly。
值得庆幸的是，您可以在家里提供清洁解决方案。其中一个是柠檬酸清洁剂。柠檬酸是一种来自柑橘类水果的化合物，如橙子和柠檬。这是一种安全和自然的消毒剂。
它可以杀死真菌，细菌，模具和霉菌。它还有助于消除坚韧的污渍和生锈。
So how do you make a citric acid cleaning solution? Continue reading below to find out how.
1。Gather the Ingredients
There are a few things you need to create the base for your citric acid cleaner. First, you need to get a bag of citric acid in crystalline powder form. You can find this in most grocery stores.
If you can’t find any, head on to those Kosher markets or Middle Eastern stores. You can also try specialty cooking stores and health shops.
At least a pound worth of citric acid powder will do.
You also need to get some distilled water. This type of drinking water goes through the process of boiling and condensation. This process takes away most of the minerals and impurities.
2.选择非金属容器存储
现在找到一个非金属容器，以便在稍后将用于混合过程。如果您找不到非金属容器，请参加非反应性金属。
确保您彻底清洁容器。您希望避免在您解决方案附近生长的任何污染物或真菌。
3.。Get the Amounts and Measurements Right
对于有效的柠檬酸清洁剂，您需要对您的测量结果进行测量。柠檬酸浓度的水平直接影响解决方案的疗效，成本和保质期。
If you want something that will last a long time, go for a mixture with higher concentration. The ratio is 1lb or 454 grams of citric acid powder to 1 pint or 470ml of water.
如果您想要更容易预算的东西，请参加1LB的柠檬酸至2品脱的蒸馏水。
When measuring the citric acid, transfer the powder in a non-metallic pot. Set aside in preparation for the boiling. Now transfer the distilled water into another non-metallic pot for boiling.
4. Boil and Pour
Now boil the water in the pot. You may also use a microwave-safe container if you wish.
Make sure you are wearing the proper attire. When checking the water, make sure you are wearing an oven mitt. Give the container a gentle nudge to keep it from boiling over.
一旦水开始沸腾，将其倒在柠檬酸粉末上。使用非金属匙并一致搅拌混合物。你想要你的粉末均匀溶解。
5.。Store It Right
要准备存储解决方案，必须先过滤解决方案。拿一块奶酪或滤纸并留下解决方案。确保您将解决方案转移到非金属的锅。
Straining the solution will separate any solids that did not dissolve during the mixing process.
让溶液在室温下冷却。不要盖上锅。
冷却后，将溶液转移到另一个非金属容器中。确保容器是气密的。带有紧密盖子的容器。
To ensure there is no spillage, use a funnel to pour the solution.
现在将解决方案存放在衣柜或橱柜里面。你想把它放在凉爽的地方。在某些情况下，解决方案可持续到两年，具体取决于存储的完整性。
Using the Citric Acid Cleaner
As we mentioned earlier, there are many uses for your citric acid cleaning solution. Now let’s take a look at some of them:
Your Toilet
Take your solution and pour some over your toilet. Make sure you cover all areas, especially the back and underside. Let the solution sit overnight.
The next morning, scrub the toilet the way you normally would. Flush it thereafter and let the water wash the solution away.
Your Shower
至于您的淋浴，只需在强调脏表面上喷洒溶液。要拿那些坚韧的污渍，浸泡一块布料。按布靠近表面并磨砂。
冲洗整个表面并让淋浴干燥。
Your Kitchen
You can tweak your solution a bit when cleaning the kitchen. Mix one part citric acid and one part vinegar and use the solution to clean your plates and kitchenware.
You can also spray the solution over your countertops. It can also work on your dishwashers and espresso machine.
Your Kettle
你有艰难的时间清洁水壶吗？您的柠檬酸清洁剂可能是答案。用水填满你的水壶。
Boil the water then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the citric acid powder. Let it boil for 15 to 20 minutes.
扔水，让水壶冷却。
