Rich in acidity, lemons are useful not only in cooking but also in garnishing dishes. Good for health as well, lemons can also help keep objects clean and shiny, and can remove stubborn odors that linger in your kitchen.
From the peel to the seeds, every part of the lemon is useful. Here are some ways to use lemons beneficially that are worth knowing.
Dry the lemon peel
Lemon peel has a fragrant smell and is also full of essential oils. It can be used as a seasoning powder when cooking, and can also be used as a face mask. Dry the lemon peel in the sun and then pound it into a fine powder. It can be stored in the refrigerator and used for several months.
When windows, furniture, doors, and kitchen utensils are stained and dirty
Cut a lemon in half and dip it in salt. Then scrub the stained, dirty area with the salted lemon half. You'll see it become shiny and clean like new.
Helping to keep your house free of dust
It's not practical to take out a new mop every time the mopping cloth gets dirty after just one use. Soak lemon peels in vinegar. After finishing your house cleaning, wash the mop with that vinegar. The lemon vinegar will absorb the dust and dirt from the mop.
Removing bad odors from the refrigerator
Soak a sponge in lemon juice. Then place that sponge in the refrigerator for a few hours. The lemon juice sponge will absorb the bad odors from the refrigerator.
Helping clothes become bright and white
Mix lemon juice, water, and hydrogen peroxide, and use this mixture when washing your clothes. This will make yellowed, dingy clothes bright and clean like new.
Getting rid of insects
Pour lemon juice on the spots where ants and other small insects pass through. They won't come to that spot again.
