*20 Handy Tips for Using Lemons*
A lemon is a citrus fruit with a great aroma that blends wonderfully with
food and drinks. Lemons also have many other uses thanks to
their antibacterial properties, as well as being rich in vitamin C. They
are strong antioxidants and contain 5% acid, meaning they are very useful
for a whole range of things.
To maximize the usefulness of lemons, we have collected 20 of the best
things to do with a lemon besides using it for cooking!

*1. Ant Repellant* - Pour some lemon juice around any infested areas to
keep them at bay!
*2. Air freshener* - An equal amount of water and lemon juice placed in an
air freshener will supply your house with a nice, fresh scent.
*3. A clean tub* - An equal amount of water and lemon juice can also
be very effective at cleaning the mildew and fungus that accumulates on the
sides of your shower or tub.
*4. Disinfectant* - A small amount of lemon juice can be a great addition
to vinegar as a cleaning agent. Not only will it neutralize vinegar's
strong smell - it will also fortify vinegar's disinfecting properties.
*5. Microwave* - Heat up a bowl of water and lemon wedges in the microwave
for 30-60 seconds. Once you've done so, try cleaning the inside of your
microwave. Those previously hard-to-remove stains will now be easily
removed and the 'food smell' will be neutralized.
*6. Refrigerator* - Storing half a lemon in the fridge will help prevent
unpleasant odors.
*7. Cleaning Chrome/Brass/Copper* - Mix lemon juice with drinking soda and
dip a clean hand towel into the mixture. Wipe down chrome, brass or
copper surfaces thoroughly, then rinse well and wipe down with dry paper to
make them look like new!
*8. Bathroom *- Mix half a cup of borax powder with a glass of lemon to
clean toilet perfectly, leaving it smelling fresh and clean.
*9. Faucets and sinks* - Use half a lemon to remove limescale buildup on
your sinks and faucets. Rinse well and reapply as required

*10. To make your laundry whiter *- Add half a cup of lemon juice to a
white wash, then hang up your clothes when it's done. A teaspoon of lemon
juice in the machine during the wash cycle will also give your fabric a
fresher smell.
*11. Dishes* - To remove fatty substances on utensils, try adding a
teaspoon of lemon juice to the dish soap.
*12. Drainage* - A mixture of hot lemon juice and drinking soda can help to
improve your drainage by unclogging it.
*13. Trash can* - If you throw lemon peel in the trash, it will help to
neutralize the bad odors coming from the rest of the foodstuffs in there.
*14. Cutting Board* - Rub half a lemon on a wooden cutting board, leave it
like that overnight, then wash it the following day. The lemon juice will
help to kill any bacteria that has accumulated on the board, and neutralize
any bad odors.
*15. Glass and Mirrors* - Mixing four tablespoons of lemon juice with
two liters of water creates an effective mixture for cleaning windows,
mirrors and glass surfaces.

*16. Furniture* - Add one part lemon juice to two parts of olive or cooking
oil to create a wonderful agent for polishing furniture.
*17. Hair brightening *- Pour some lemon juice onto your hair and sit for
an hour in the sun in order to brighten it a shade or two.
*18. Hair softening *- Lemon juice mixed with a glass of warm water can be
used as a great hair mask. Soak your hair in the liquid for a few minutes
and then rinse thoroughly. If you have a sensitive scalp, this may not be
the solution for you.

*19. Cuts, stings, and skin irritation* - Drizzle a small amount of lemon
juice on small cuts. Although it will probably sting, it should help to
stop any bleeding and disinfect the wound. In addition, applying lemon
juice to stings should alleviate the feeling of discomfort and itchiness.
*20. Removing bad smell from hands* - If you were handling something
odorous like fish or onions, washing your hands in lemon juice is a great
way to get rid of those odors without drying or damaging your skin.
