Cleaning With Lemons

I recently discovered that you can use lemons to clean. Unlike many other natural cleaning products, lemons are cheap and easy to find. They are also versatile and can be used on many surfaces without risk of damaging them.

Cleaning with lemons is quick and easy.  Simply cut a lemon in half and rub it on the surface you wish to clean. You can also dip the cut lemon in salt, baking soda [LINK] or citric acid [LINK] to create a more abrasive cleaning surface.  The only thing you need to worry about is washing away the juice and pulp bits after you've scrubbed up the food and grease.

I mostly use lemons to clean in my kitchen, but you could use them in your bathroom or anywhere really.  And, because lemons are good for degreasing, they would probably be quite useful for grimy car and/or machine parts - and/or for cleaning your hands after working on grimy car/machine parts.

I often use lemons as a starter cleaning solution and then use a magic eraser to get off whatever the lemons don't. And, when the lemon is exhausted, you can simply put it down your drain and run the garbage disposer - it cleans the disposer and freshens up the smell.

Cleaning with lemons - a simple triumph!
