Let me start by saying – hard water stains, be gone! Brighter Shine’s citric acid powder is a game-changer for anyone battling cloudy glassware or mineral buildup. I’ve tried vinegar rinses, expensive rinse aids, and even restaurant-grade detergents with mediocre results. This little lemon-scented warrior? Two wash cycles brought my drinking glasses to near-perfect clarity.

The 60-use concentration is no joke – one scoop per load makes this canister last forever. I love multi-purpose products, and this delivers: it freshens my dishwasher, tackles laundry machine odors (just toss a scoop in an empty cycle), and even revived my grimy bird bath! The natural formula is septic-safe too.

Now for real talk – the packaging needs work. My first order arrived with a torn envelope (that hard plastic canister is no joke). Pro tip: sellers should ship this in a box. Also, while most dishes come out sparkling, I noticed slight cloudiness on some loads – possibly due to extreme hard water levels.

Final verdict? If you’re tired of streaky silverware or considering buying a new dishwasher due to hard water issues, try Brighter Shine first. It’s not magic (those decade-old mineral deposits might need extra love), but it’s the closest thing to it for under $20.
