When life gives you lemons, make lemonade or.... CLEAN!
The acid in lemons works magic in removing dirt and even rust stains!
Countertops: Dip the cut side of a lemon half in baking soda to tackle countertops. Wipe with a wet sponge and dry. However, do not use on delicate stone such as marble or stainless steel.
Dishes: To increase the grease-cutting power of your dishwasher detergent, add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Faucets: Combat lime scale by rubbing lemon juice onto the taps and letting it sit over night. Wipe with a damp cloth.
Garbage Disposal: Cut a lemon in half, the run both pieces through the disposal. It makes it smell great!
Hands: When you touch raw fish, the smell can linger on your fingers. Rub your hands with lemon juice, which will neutralize the odor.
Laundry: To brighten whites, add 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the rinse cycle for a normal sized load.
Plastic food-storage containers: To bleach stains from tomato soup, rub lemon juice on the spots, let dry in a sunny place, then wash as usual.
