If you throw a slice of lemon down the drain, you’ll get truly outstanding results in no time.
Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting your home is undoubtedly one of today’s most common activities. Living in a home that’s always clean and fragrant makes for a better quality of life, and means you’ll always be able to welcome guests with pleasure. Environments such as the kitchen and bathroom are particularly in need of thorough cleaning. In the kitchen, for example, food preparation can lead to very high levels of dirt. That’s why it’s a good idea to arm yourself with detergent and degreaser and clean every nook and cranny of your kitchen with great care.
All it takes is a slice of lemon and your drain will smell like new.
However, even when we manage to disinfect thoroughly with some consistency, we may notice a bad smell coming from the kitchen itself. As we get closer, we’ll easily realize that this unpleasant smell is coming from the sink drain.
What’s happened? In most cases, the odour is coming from the sink drain because there has been a build-up of limescale or organic matter, which causes a bad smell when water stagnates.
Fortunately, there are several ways to solve the problem. Many choose to rely on the various chemical products readily available on the market.
However, it’s advisable to forget these solutions and opt instead for natural and organic remedies, which still manage to guarantee a certain effectiveness.
For example, a simple lemon is an excellent way to get rid of unpleasant odors from the sink.
The first thing we need to do is get hold of a lemon. It couldn’t be simpler, not least because this citrus fruit is often found in our kitchens.
Should we simply throw the lemons down the sink? Is that enough to stop the unpleasant aroma? Of course not, it’s not enough: you have to prepare the lemon properly to exploit its properties.
