Citric Acid powder is of good quality, and there are a lot of uses.  Like vinegar, it is considered a weak acid and for cleaning purposes, replaces vinegar without the smell.  I use in the dishwasher, coffee maker, shower, etc. for removing eliminating hard water spots and build-up.  It's also antibacterial so disinfects.  Works great.

In the Dishwasher, fill up the detergent cup with citric acid crystals instead of detergent, and use your detergent as the prewash. (Some folks also use citric acid it to make their own dishwasher detergent.) Plastic, glass, ceramic, and SS tableware come out clean and sparkling, while your dishwasher keeps clean also. For making solutions there are instructions out on the Web, e.g., "How to Make a Citric Acid Solution" at eHow.

Gave this particular product a 3 because you can get the same quality/purity citric acid for much less (about half) buying in 5 or 10 pound bags (also at Amazon).  Just put it in a plastic or glass container for easier storage and use (e.g., the empty container for this product, an empty plastic creamer or plastic coffee container, etc.).
