...make eco-friendly household cleaning products?
I have yet to try these out, but apparently lemons are a great biodegradable alternative to a lot of the hazardous products that we use to clean out homes!
Other than decorating fancy drinks, lemons can be used as a deodorizer, household cleaner and even a beauty product!
Here a few uses for our favorite sour yellow friend:
Ant Deterrent: pouring lemon juice on areas that ants tend to frequent will help repel them!
All-Purpose Cleaner and Deodorizer: mix equal parts water and lemon juice in a spray bottle and you have chemical free, green air freshener (much better for you than things like fabreeze) and also an effective all-purpose cleaner! (Add a bit of vinegar to boost the cleaning power!)
Microwave Cleaner: I really have to try this one out! Put a few slices of lemons in a bowl of water and microwave for about 30 seconds, then wipe out the microwave. Stains will (apparently) be easier to remove and odors will be neutralized.
Drains: Lemon juice and baking soda together make a good drain cleaner that isn't harsh on the environment like other drain cleaners!
Well, I have a bunch more uses up my sleeve, so I think I will post the rest tomorrow - and I will try some of these out soon!
Have any of you tried any of these lemon uses? Was it successful?
