  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.

    If you need to wash something with hot water but don’t like the steam, mix it with two-parts cold water before applying.

  I just use hydrochloric acid.

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

  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.

  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.

  Another option is oxalic acid, which is the solvent in Bar Keepers Friend.
