Lactic acid, known for its function in food fermentation and the pharmaceutical industry, is emerging as a sustainable, effective alternative for household cleaning. Renowned for its effectiveness as a descaler and pH regulator, this naturally derived compound is becoming increasingly popular in detergents.

Its ability to dissolve and remove mineral deposits makes it an optimal choice for combating limescale buildup in bathrooms, kitchens and appliances. Additionally, as a pH regulator, it ensures a perfect environment for the removal of dirt and stains without damaging treated surfaces.
