Lemon Juice As A Natural Cleaning Agent

One amazing benefit from lemon juice is that you can use it as a safe and natural all-purpose cleaner. Most commercial household cleaning agents are made of a cocktail of harmful chemicals that will clean up the mess, but at what cost? Trace amounts always remain behind and can get into your food.

Fortunately for you, a lemon juice-based alternative is cheap and easy to make.

Try combining lemon juice with baking soda, white vinegar, and lemon essential oil to create a homemade all-purpose cleaner you can use on the floor, bathtub, kitchen counter, and more.

You can also customize it for more specific messes. To clean a cutting board, for instance, try mixing some lemon juice with salt, and apply it to the board. Let it sit for a bit to eat away at the grease, then scrub it dry. This works equally well on wooden bowls and rolling pins.

You can even use lemons to clean the inside of your microwave oven WITHOUT SCRUBBING. Squeeze lemon juice into a microwave-safe bowl filled with half a cup of water. Drop the rinds inside and place the bowl in the microwave.

Microwave for three minutes on the “high” setting. Make sure the water comes to a boil. As the water boils, it will condense on the interior of the oven, loosening up all the grease and crud that’s accumulated. When it finishes boiling, do not open it, just let it sit for five minutes. After this, open it up and wipe clean with a damp cloth. It will look shiny and good as new!

Lemons are an amazing fruit, and there is endless room for experimentation. Pick a few up today, and put these incredible life hacks to work for you!
