Cleaning your home with lemons

 

I like to have bowls full of lemons in my house, not only do they help to brighten my kitchen, but they can also help make it easy and clean.

I have put together some easy home hacks to clean your home naturally. Making such changes and using less toxic water is great for you and the environment. Not only do lemons have a pleasing aroma but they can also help improve radiance. It's amazing how well they can clean your home.


Wood chopping board

You can clean your wood cutting board with half a lemon and a little coarse salt. You just have to cut a lemon in half and sprinkle salt on the chopped board. Then scratch the surface of the cutting board, facing the lemon downwards, squeezing a little to release the lemon juice as you go. Let the lemon and salt sit for about 15 minutes to allow them to work, then squeeze any lemon slices and rinse with lukewarm water and a clean sponge or cloth.

Lime

Lemon is good at dealing with lime. For the lime skin that is on your taps, very easily cut your lemon in half and run the lemon all over the tap where the lime is present. Leave the lemon on the tap for a while so it can work and then rinse. You may need to repeat this process.

Just put half of the used lemon in the kettle for your kettle, fill it with water and boil. Leave overnight, and boil again in the morning before emptying. Rinse it immediately to remove any bits.



Microwave

Put half a lemon in a bowl of clean cold water in the microwave and then put the microwave on full power for 5 minutes. Lemon will leave grease which will be easy to wipe with a cloth.


Rust

Rust Mix Apply this paste on rust and scrub to remove lemon with salt and make a paste. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.

Hard water marks

Hard water marks can be a real pain, but they can be easily removed with just half a lemon mark.



Dishwasher

Add the lemon juice to the sealed tablet portion and then run on the rinse cycle.

Here are some other ideas for cleaning lemons:

Polish chrome

In hot weather, keep insects out of the kitchen by dropping a drop where insects can come.

To deal with laundry stains, soak the stains in a mixture of lemon juice and bicard soda for 30 minutes before washing.
