Good to know

Citric acid is effective and easy to use, but as an acid, it’s best used with care on certain surfaces.

Avoid use on natural stone, marble and limestone
Always test first on surfaces and fixtures
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture

While food-grade in quality, we recommend using this bicarb for cleaning only, as it’s stored with other cleaning ingredients.

Packaging details

Everything is packaged fresh to order, and you can choose how your citric acid arrives:

Apothecary Jar
A wide-mouth glass jar with a tinted amber finish. The lid holds roughly a tablespoon, making it practical for scooping and measuring. Airtight, durable and bench friendly.

Earth Bag
A compostable kraft paper bag with a plant-based inner lining. Ideal for transport and low waste, but not suitable for long-term storage. Transfer to a sealed container on arrival - glass is best.

Whichever option you choose, keep it dry, sealed, and stored safely out of reach of children and pets.
