The Tiger Citric Acid Cleaner is designed for cleaning the inside of electric kettles, and electric water heating/dispensing pots. With regular use, minerals naturally present in water (such as calcium, magnesium, and iron) can build up on the inner container and form limescale or residue. This build-up may reduce heating efficiency, affect heat retention, and impact water clarity.
This cleaner uses 100% citric acid to dissolve mineral deposits safely and effectively, helping maintain the cleanliness and performance of your appliance or container.

Cleaning Instructions
