Description
Natural Limescale Remover and Softener for Home Use – PURO ACIDO CITRICO
Limescale easily builds up inside household appliances and on bathroom and kitchen surfaces. For this reason, a reliable descaler for appliances becomes essential when standard products are no longer effective. A dedicated citric acid cleaner offers a natural and targeted solution to dissolve mineral deposits and restore performance.
PURO ACIDO CITRICO is a high-purity, water-soluble citric acid powder designed to prepare natural acidic solutions for everyday home cleaning. Thanks to its versatility, it works as an effective descaler for appliances while also helping reduce mineral build-up on household surfaces over time.
When to Use It
PURO ACIDO CITRICO is suitable for a wide range of domestic cleaning tasks. You can use it for routine appliance maintenance as well as for removing limescale deposits from bathroom and kitchen surfaces.
It is especially recommended when you want to keep internal systems cleaner and prevent progressive scale formation. With consistent use, it helps maintain optimal performance and makes periodic cleaning easier.
What It Does
PURO ACIDO CITRICO works as a natural fabric softener in the washing machine, as a limescale remover during empty dishwasher and washing machine cycles, and as a descaler for routine bathroom and kitchen cleaning. In addition, it works as a practical descaler for appliances, helping maintain washing machines, dishwashers and coffee machines in optimal condition.
Thanks to its high purity, it leaves no residue on treated surfaces. Moreover, you can adjust the dilution ratio to obtain the right strength for each specific cleaning task.
How It Works
The formula of PURO ACIDO CITRICO dissolves easily in water at any concentration, depending on the intended use. The product contains 90% pure citric acid (the remaining 10% is water).
Once diluted, it creates natural acidic solutions that help dissolve limescale build-up and mineral deposits. At the same time, it cleans without leaving residues on surfaces.
Cost-Effective Advantage
Regular use of PURO ACIDO CITRICO helps reduce the progressive formation of limescale. Consequently, you can limit the need for intensive treatments or multiple specialized products for each appliance. This simplifies routine maintenance and saves time during cleaning operations.
Furthermore, as a high-yield powder, it allows you to prepare several liters of active solution according to the selected dilution. This makes it a practical and cost-effective choice, especially for regular maintenance treatments.
Specific Applications
PURO ACIDO CITRICO is ideal for preparing solutions to use as a natural laundry softener, as a dishwasher and washing machine descaler, and as a bathroom and kitchen limescale remover.
It effectively removes scale from taps, showerheads, sanitary fittings, and stainless steel surfaces, leaving them clean and bright.
It is also suitable as a coffee machine descaler and for removing mineral deposits from steam irons.
Durability
When used regularly as a maintenance product, it helps keep appliances and surfaces cleaner for longer. Over time, it slows down limescale accumulation and makes future cleaning easier.
If stored properly in a dry and well-ventilated area, the product maintains its effectiveness over time.
Technical Limitations
Do not use PURO ACIDO CITRICO on delicate or acid-sensitive surfaces such as polished marble, travertine, slate, agglomerate tiles, cement tiles, wood, or similar materials.
Do not apply the product in its pure form on fabrics, as it may cause damage.
Before using it on specific or sensitive materials, always test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area.

How to use
The product comes in powder form and must be dissolved in water to create a natural acidic solution according to the intended application.
When preparing the solution, avoid dispersing dust into the air and always use clean tools and suitable containers.
The prepared solution can be used for routine bathroom and kitchen cleaning, for empty maintenance cycles in washing machines and dishwashers, and for descaling coffee machines and steam irons.
- For use as a natural fabric softener, dissolve 40–50 g of PURO ACIDO CITRICO in 1 litre of water. Pour the solution into the fabric softener compartment (e.g. 100 ml per wash).
- For use as a dishwasher descaler and rinse aid, dissolve approximately 100 g of product in 1 litre of water and pour the solution into the dedicated compartment. For effective limescale removal, use preferably during an empty cycle.
- To descale the washing machine, dissolve 150 g of product in 1 litre of water. Pour the solution directly into the empty drum and run a short wash cycle (30 minutes) at 40°C.
- For periodic bathroom and kitchen descaling, dissolve approximately 150 g of PURO ACIDO CITRICO in 1 litre of water and spray the solution onto the surfaces to be treated. Leave it to act for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. For targeted interventions or in the presence of heavy scale deposits, use specific products such as SANI-KAL BIO or SANI-KAL FORTE.
- To use as a coffee machine descaler, dissolve 10 g of product in 1 litre of water directly in the tank. Run the machine until the tank is empty, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- For cleaning steam irons, dissolve 2 tablespoons of product in 1 litre of warm water. Pour the solution into the tank and leave it overnight. Then empty, rinse carefully and activate the steam function to remove any remaining residues.
After each use, always rinse treated surfaces thoroughly. Do not use the product on acid-sensitive materials.
Estimated Coverage
The yield depends on the selected dilution and the level of scale build-up.
With a 1 kg pack, the estimated performance is as follows:
- Under light soiling conditions or for regular maintenance (surfaces treated consistently, no layered limescale), a 1 kg pack allows you to prepare approximately 10–15 complete 1-litre solutions. This corresponds to about 10–15 bathroom or kitchen cleaning treatments, or approximately 6–10 washing machine or dishwasher maintenance cycles, depending on the amount of solution used.
The indicated quantities are approximate estimates and may vary according to the level of scale, the surface treated and the selected concentration.
