About Citrex
Citrex is Grupo AlEn's dishwashing liquid, presented in its newest formulation as having the power of 100 lemons and removing hard smells such as egg, tuna and fish. The company says the foam lasts from the first plate to the last, that the formula contains 95 per cent degreasers of natural origin, and that it is hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested so as not to dry out the hands.
