Not only can we use lemons to sweeten our recipes but you can also use lemons to get your house sparkling clean.
Here are the best ways to use lemons to clean your home:
Blender
Chunks of food can easily get stuck in the crevices of your blender. You can dislodge and disinfect your blender by blending a lemon with a little dish soap and water. This will also get rid of hard water build up.
Grout
You can cleanse and whiten up your tile grout by scrubbing it with an old toothbrush dipped in lemon juice.
Microwave
Pour the juice of a lemon and its rinds into some water inside a microwave-safe container. Place the container inside of the microwave and heat it up until the liquid boils. This will loosen all the gunk allowing you to easily wipe the gunk in your microwave away.
