  Additional tip: if you want to make vinegar or citric acid far less effective, first make a paste of it by mixing with baking soda. This is suggested on many life hack websites.

  CLR is citric acid based. Not sure if that or lemon juice is cheaper though.

    All I know is that citric acid is dirt cheap in powder form, especially if you don’t need food grade.

    Hydrochloric acid has a smell. That’s definitely the only downside.

  I bought a big bag of citric acid, I descale my bean to cup coffee machine, kettle and clean my shower head with it. Good stuff.
