3.  Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is a great way to dissolve grease, remove stains, and polish metal. See also benefits of lemons for skin care.

To brighten laundry naturally, add a half cup of strained juice to the rinse cycle. You can rub lemon slices, dabbed with baking soda, on brass, bronze, or aluminum for easy cleaning and to add a bright shine.

Also, most stains on clothing can be removed by squeezing lemon juice directly on the stain, then leave in the sunlight for a few hours.

Launder as usual and, ta da! No more stain!

    Be careful cleaning with vinegar! There are some great uses for it but vinegar is quite acidic and over time can easily etch or damage some surfaces. Make sure to only use on acidic resistant materials. If you aren’t sure, best not to use it and try another organic approach such as Freshana Organic Solutions 100% natural, organic, safe and effective cleaning products and air purifiers on those delicate surfaces!
