Lemon is without a doubt one of nature’s most wonderful gifts to humanity. It is useful not only in cooking and medicine but also for a variety of household duties.
There are various things one can use lemon for at home that demonstrate why it is so important in everyday life.
1. Multipurpose cleaner
This fruit’s antibacterial properties can be used to disinfect a variety of household surfaces.
To accomplish this, make a basic multipurpose cleaner to use while cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, or any other location.
To prepare: Peel a lemon in a bowl, and pour white vinegar over the peel. The next day, add some water and shake well.
2. Disinfecting the chopping board
Although it is impossible to see with your eyes, the chopping board in the kitchen is one of the aspects of the home that contains the most bacteria.
You can utilize it without exposing yourself to the dangers that these germs carry by making use of the lemon’s antimicrobial function.
You don’t need any special preparation for this, just use lemon juice to clean your chopping board properly before use.
3. Natural deodorant
This fruit’s penetrating scent is perfect for removing smells that have built up in the house or small places like closets and refrigerators.
It also works as a natural deodorant for regions like the armpits and feet to keep odours away.
To prepare: Peel some lemons in a pot and add some water. Put it on the site for a few minutes. Once it gets hot, bring it down, and left it cool, you are good to go.
You can also spray the liquid using a spray bottle (which is the correct method to combat body odour)
4. Bleach
To have whiter, brighter clothes, you don’t need to use chemical bleaches. Lemon’s active ingredients enter the cloth’s fabric to eliminate yellowing and stains.
