There is also the other citric cleaner mentioned on page 2 as well. -- Brian

I wonder, are all citric acid powders made the same? »www.homedepot.ca/product/epoxy-s···h/968976 |

 CylonRedPremium,MVM join:2000-07-06 Bloom County | No - it is not the same: "Prepares concrete for painting and staining. Citric acid powder is safer than muriatic acid"
There are a ton of cleaners - just because he had a link to one does not mean the same thing is not available locally. Just look in the grocery store where the cleaners are sold... -- Brian

 HallPremium,MVM join:2000-04-28 Dayton, OH kudos:2 | said by CylonRed:No - it is not the same: "Prepares concrete for painting and staining. Citric acid powder is safer than muriatic acid" Chemicals can have many different and perfectly acceptable uses. I have muriatic acid that I bought at Lowes that's labeled for etching concrete -- that I use in our swimming pool to lower the pH level. I have phosphoric acid here at work that's for cleaning concrete, stone, etc that we use for cleaning stainless steel (per our chemist's recommendation). |

 CylonRedPremium,MVM join:2000-07-06 Bloom County | I do understand that but personally - if the product does not mention using it for that and it etches things - I am wary of using it in the application. To know for sure they would have to check the strength of the 2 products to see how different they are.
The muriatic acid would very likely be far more diluted than the citric acid in a dishwasher which has a lot less water.
If he wants to get the 'same thing' as the product robbin linked to - then he needs to find the same type of product for the use it is intended - imho. -- Brian
