Why Every Self-Respecting Housewife Should Have a Stock of Citric Acid: Not Just for Cooking Purposes
Many housewives call the lemon tree their irreplaceable assistant, and here’s why.
Added to your favorite okroshka or solyanka, citric acid gives the dish that subtle sourness.
Sometimes the seasoning is added to jars of vegetable preserves and compotes - literally on the tip of a knife. It is believed that this action will prevent the preserves from spoiling.
In addition, citric acid has another purpose - it copes better than any other preparation with cleaning household appliances, plumbing fixtures and even furniture.
To clean a microwave, stove or saucepan, simply dissolve a tablespoon of the product in a liter of warm water, then add a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to the solution.
All that remains is to pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle, and you can begin to battle plaque, burnt deposits, grease and other contaminants.
You can even spray the product on kitchen shelves, sinks or shower stalls. Wait 5 minutes and then wipe the surfaces. Clean!
