Citric acid is a versatile, inexpensive and non-toxic household remedy that can be used especially as a limescale remover. Cleansing effect, rust-removing, disinfectant, economical.

Citric acid is one of the most widespread plant acids, and occurs as a metabolic product in all organisms. In the human body, approx. 2g citric acid is formed daily as an intermediate product and reacted again. In the past, citric acid was obtained from lemon juice by reaction with ammonia and sulfuric acid. Today, it is mainly obtained by fermentation (using certain fungi) of sugar solution. They can be used in a wide variety of ways: added to baking powder and cosmetic/pharma products, flavouring in beverages and food. The coffee machine decalcifier, which is usually sold in small packs at high prices, is nothing other than citric acid.
Citric acid is a versatile, especially used as a universal lime remover, inexpensive and non-toxic household remedy, which should not be missing in any household.
Anyone who produces children’s modelling clay himself will no longer want to do without citric acid as a non-toxic and softening additive. The recipe is on the page!

Making children’s soft clay:
Using citric acid in children’s modelling clay is a small miracle ingredient. In combination with table salt, this results in a mixture that is “hygroscopic”, i.e. keeps the moisture for a long time. This is particularly important for children’s modelling clay, as it should remain supple for a long time.
The rapid drying and “crumbling” known from simple dough is thus considerably delayed. Test the difference!
This phenomenon has long been known in the butcher’s trade, where a similar mixture is added to sausages to prevent them from running apart due to their high water content; here water is made cuttable, so to speak.
Packaged in airtight freezer bags and stored in a cool place (e.g. refrigerator), the modelling clay has a shelf life of many weeks.
Recipe for children’s soft clay:

Put
500g wheat flour (e.g. type 405)
150g table salt,
3 tablespoons citric acid
20-50g colorful KREIDEZEIT Earth Pigments (e.g. red and yellow ochre, burnt umber, etc.)
in a bowl and mix well.

Bring ½ litres of water to boil, add 5-8 tablespoons of cooking oil and stir into the flour/salt/lemon acid mixture. Then knead thoroughly. Ready! All this takes about a quarter of an hour, is fun and costs almost nothing.

Cleaning the Tools
Immediately after use with water. Treat textiles and brushes with household vinegar if necessary (materials must be tested for compatibility with vinegar).
