Lemons have many uses! They’re not just ideal for cooking purposes or weight loss and digestion purposes. If you’ve ever watched the British television show How Clean is Your House? then you know how powerful a lemon is for degreasing a microwave. Quite frankly, what reason is there not to love lemons? Here are a few beneficial ways that you can use this multi-purpose fruit to freshen your home.
Lemons Can Break Down Stubborn Microwave Stains
It only takes a lemon and a bowl of water to tackle caked-on stains in your microwave. Cut a lemon down the middle and squeeze both halves into a bowl filled halfway with water. Then, heat the mixture for 3-5 minutes on the highest setting. Once the microwave beeps, allow it to cool off for five minutes. Remove the bowl and then wipe out your microwave with a cloth. If you don’t own any microfiber cloths, we recommend that you keep a few handy. Microfiber is more absorbent than traditional cloth.
Cleaning for Tea Lovers
If you love tea or hot cocoa and you use your tea kettle often, then you know how frustrating it is to reach inside and try to scrub out a kettle. You could ask your child with small hands to take care of this, or you could combine one ounce of lemon juice and two cups of water and bring them to a boil in your kettle. After this process, rinse things out a few times and behold, you have a fresh kettle.
Freshen Up Your Garbage Disposal With Lemons
We’ve mentioned in the past the importance of cleaning things that, well, you use to clean. You should wipe down your cleaning products, clean out your washer and dryers, scrub out your sinks, and tackle that garbage disposal. Use lemon peel remains and drop them right in the garbage disposal. This idea is perfect for cleaning and deodorizing your garbage disposal.
Say Goodbye to Soapscum by Activating the Power of Lemon
Soapscum is unsightly and frustrating to clean. Sometimes elbow grease isn’t even enough to remove it. Use can pour lemon juice on a sponge to scrub a small area or use it in a spray bottle to cover a larger surface. Let the lemon juice sit for a minute, wipe using a clean, damp cloth, and say goodbye to soap scum. You can also use this technique on shower glass doors and the bathtub. We must note that you shouldn’t use lemon on natural stone.
