Vinegar is acetic acid. Distilled Vinegar is quite useful as a general household cleaner.

Lemon juice contains citric acid.

CLR or a similar product that takes care of limescale (etc) is a mixture of acids.

Muriatic (another name for hydrochloric) acid is available from most hardware stores and can be used for dealing with rust.
