Cleaning With Lemon Juice

Not everyone is an expert environmentalist, but you don’t have to be to appreciate cleaning with lemon juice. There are so many ways to use lemon juice around the house, that it is often called a miracle product. In fact it is so good that many chemical products companies use it as a way to sell their products. You can do the same with lemon as you can by using all the products that advertise lemon in their cleaning formula. Lemon cleans, scales, dusts, disinfects, deodorizes, shines… Let’s start squeezing!

Lemon is not just for cooks! A lemon sliced, or juiced or used as essential oil is one of the favorite product of the would be ecologist at the same title as baking soda or white vinegar.

Deodorizing the house

Use 1 tablespoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a pint of hot water. This mixture is just as good a deodorizer than any bought at the supermarket.
If your refrigerator has an unpleasant odor, cut a lemon in half and place it in a corner of the fridge. This will ensure you do not have to hold your nose when you open the door.

Sanitize the bathrooms

Lemon is the enemy of hard water. To remove the white spots that hard water leaves behind in sinks or bathtubs, cut a quarter lemon and scrub the areas to be cleaned with it.
The toilet can be cleaned and disinfected with a mixture of lemon juice and white vinegar. You can also shine your faucets with this mixture.
Lastly if you want really sparkling sinks use half a lemon sprinkled with salt, and rinse.

Tip – How to get more juice out of a lemon: Place the lemon a few minutes in hot water, or a few second in the microwave oven before squeezing.

A better way to clean the microwave oven

place ½ a lemon or pour the juice of ½ a lemon in a cup of water. Boil it in the microwave, let it cool a few minutes before removing the cup from the microwave. Then wipe the inside of the microwave oven with a soft cloth. Rinse with a wet cloth, you will have a perfectly clean microwave.

Use lemon for dusting

Pledge lemon is nothing compared with what lemon without Pledge can do. Make your own mixture ½ lemon juice – ½ olive oil. Mix well then apply in small quantity on your dusty furniture, on wood furniture let it stand a few minutes before wiping with a soft cloth. (This mixture tends to separate when not in use. Shake before using).

Lemon does windows

A little lemon juice in hot water and newspaper. Wet the paper slightly in this mixture and wipe the windows. If the glass is really dirty use several sheets of paper until they are clean. Sparkling windows, no residues.

Brass, copper, silver can shine again

you know how bad the chemical products for this items smell. No need to clean them with a clothespin on the nose. Lemon smells good! Use ½ lemon with salt, rub the items then wipe with a clean soft cloth. You can even let the items soak in lemon juice and salt all night, you will have very little rubbing to do in the morning, to make them shine again.
Lemon and salt will also remove coffee stains from a marble top.

Get rid of bugs

I don’t like these little bugs but somehow they often find a way in anyway. I cut slices of lemon and put them in strategic areas. It works every time.
