With a need to save money and also for environmental reasons, more and more people are making their own cleaning products. However, when you are new to making your own products you can feel a bit nervous about which recipes and uses will actually work or not. This is your chance to share your knowledge if you have a great tip or use for this product, or get some tips of your own to make sure you get the best results possible.
Here are the recipes and uses already submitted. (Please note that in addition to citric acid powder, I've added tips where people use products containing the acid within it, like Kool Aid and lemonade packets, for example.)

In fact, it is such a great kept secret that people have been using cheap substitutes for years without knowing the power was really in the acid within the product, such as all those cleaning tips for using lemonade or kool aid packets to remove stains or clean items in your home.
However, with environmental concerns with harsher products out there, this naturally occuring acid is making a comeback for use in cleaning our homes and removing stains, especially from hard water buildup.
If you use a homemade cleaning recipe which features this ingredient, or otherwise use it in your home I would love for you to share your tip with me below, so we can find even more ways to use this versatile product.
Making and using your own cleaning supplies is becoming quite popular. One of the most common homemade cleaning supplies is citric acid.
