DO NOT INGEST Citric acid is used as an environmentally friendly cleaning agent that occurs naturally in fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges. Due to its organic nature, it is subject to mold if left alone for long lengths of time. Using distilled water and keeping your containers sealed when not in use will greatly delay any mold. Citric acid itself is non-toxic and biodegradable and can be poured down the drain. However, any pickling solution becomes saturated with copper which can cause major problems for a septic system and even a water treatment facility.
