In your quest for eco-friendly and effective cleaning solutions, two simple ingredients can work wonders: fresh lemons and table salt. Here’s how you can harness their natural properties for various household tasks.
Materials You’ll Need:
- Fresh Lemons
- Table Salt
Instructions:
- Prepping the Lemon:
- Begin by slicing a fresh lemon into quarters. This exposes the pulp, making it easier to use for various applications.
- Sprinkle a bit of table salt on the cut sides of the lemon. The salt not only enhances the lemon’s cleaning ability but also boosts its deodorizing power.
- Cleaning and Deodorizing Solutions:
- Lemon-and-Salt Scrub: Combine the texture of salt with lemon’s acidity for a potent scrub. This mixture works wonders on cutting boards, countertops, and other kitchen surfaces, removing stains and odors naturally.
- Copper and Brass Cleaner: For tarnished copper or brass, dip a salted lemon quarter into more salt and rub onto the metal. The lemon’s acid and salt’s abrasiveness work together to remove tarnish and restore shine.
