Citric acid is good for certain kinds of cleaning, but not all. Citric acid is particularly effective in the removal of scale on shower heads, faucets, and coffee makers. It can also be used as a pre-cleaner for garage floors, prior to coating with epoxy paint. When used for cleaning, citric acid is always dissolved in water first. The concentration depends on the application. A solution of 100 g citric acid (roughly 4 ounces) in 1 liter (roughly a quart) of water will make an excellent descaling solution.
