Why We Use Citric Acid All our formulas use powerful citric acid to fight germs, grime, hard water buildup, and the gunk that lets germs grow back! So Clean You Can Smell It That fresh lemony scent isn’t just for show. It’s our active ingredient—citric extracts (aka citric acid)! With Lemi Shine, you get a clean so powerful you can smell it working. Winner of Parents Best Green Cleaners 2021 Our Dishwasher Cleaner's award-winning formula uses natural citric acid to restore your machine's performance. Cleaner Clean If an ingredient isn’t safe, we don’t go near it. Simple as that. When you clean with Lemi Shine, you can be confident that what you’re using is safe around little hands and little paws. Award Winning Formulas Not to brag, but our products win awards!
