Thanks for the additional context. Yes, the Citron- part of the Swiss Citronenstein product, which does seem to be what people normally mean by this (Putzstein, Citronenputzstein, etc.), is only the Duft. Your text is not clear-cut, but it makes most sense if the examples of common household cleaning products in parentheses are all highly acidic.
That must be the same sentence. I don't speak much French, but it looks to me like they just left Zitronenstein out.
Säurehaltige Lösungen enthalten chlorhaltige Produkte, wie Mischung von Essig und Salz. Salzsäuren oder Ameisensäure, welche öfters für Entkalkung verwendet wird. (Putzessig, Entkalker mit Giftklassierung, Zitronenstein usw.)
Thanks for the list of ingredients, there doesn't seem to be anything citric in there at all - unless its the perfume.
I don't think it fits the context, but here is more information: https://mooris.ch/search/zitronenstein-putzmittel/50609 Marke Citronenstein Inhalt 500 ml Zusammensetzung Poliertonerde (50%), Seifen, pflanzliche Fette, Glyzerin, allergenfreie Duftstoffe, Jojobaöl, med.Weissöl Lieferumfang Putzmittel mit Schwamm Made in original Schweizer Rezeptur, Swissmade in Schwamendingen
Although since it's used as a cleaning agent, "citric acid crystals" might be more usual (what I expected). I don't think it's common in the US, at least in "soft water" areas.
Citric acid and ascorbic acid are found in citrus fruits. I'm not sure that people should be playing with the pure, undiluted forms, but since kids are eating laundry pods these days, I guess it's not so bad (just follow the manufacturer's directions regarding usage and keep it in a safe place).
I don't think it's the product name, because the product is "Citronenstein (TM)," and Putzessig is a generic term for any cleaning product based on distilled vinegar (acetic acid solution). You could use "citric acid-based cleaner" or something like that.
Yes, difficult to tell if they mean that particular product, or citric acid. The product probably has citric acid in it anyway. I thought it was something everyone knew about in Germany. I did find some blogs with people using it in Turkish tea, or for slimming - I don't imagine they were using a cleaning agent - at least I hope not.
Thank you, that's great, I clicked the link and found the English translation (Lemonstone) on the website. My Google search didn't come up with that one.
