LEMON USES IN DOMESTIC

Finally, there are benefits lemons and lemon juice can have in your life without actually putting the fruit inside your body – or even on it. The power of the lemon is such that it’s an effective method for cleaning some of the areas in your home that need it the worst at times  like your kitchen.

If there’s one thing that lemon juice can do, it can cut grease like a champ. If you’ve got a particularly nasty pile of dishes that seem to be utterly resistant to scrubbing with that harsh chemical dish soap, give your weary hand a rest and drop a bit of lemon juice on there and let it sit for a few minutes. You can even do this with your kitchen counters as well, as long as they’re not marble (lemon juice and marble don’t really mix) and then come back, combine the lemon juice with some baking soda, and give it a little scrub. The concoction will do for your plates and counters what it does for your teeth: brighten and clean without effort.

CLOTHES

Finally, the kitchen isn’t the only room in the house that lemons belong in. You can use around one quarter of a cup of lemon juice when you’re washing your whites in the laundry in lieu of harsh chemical whiteners; the addition does wonders for your clothes. When you finish a wash cycle, hang those whites out to dry and come back to see an amazing array of beautiful, shining clothes like you just had them professionally laundered.
