21. Natural Cat Repellent

Stop neighborhood cats from using your garden or lawn as their own personal litterbox. Mix coffee grounds with lemon peels and place this mixture in areas where cats like to relieve themselves. This won’t hurt your garden and should stop those cats from doing their business as they really dislike the smell of both lemons and coffee.

 

22. Degrease Almost Anything

Go green and remove grease from just about any surface by mixing salt and lemon juice on the area. Allow to sit for a minute, scrub if you need to, and then wipe it off!

 

23. Refresh Cutting Boards

Lemons naturally have antibacterial compounds that make them perfect for cleaning and whitening cutting boards naturally. After scrubbing the board, rub the surface with half a lemon. Allow to sit for a few minutes, and then rinse with hot water.

24. Soften Brown Sugar

Does your box of brown sugar get clumps or turn rock hard between uses? Add some lemon peels to the box before closing to absorb the moisture safely and keep the sugar soft between uses.

 

25. Stop Sticky Rice

Don’t you hate it when your rice turns into a sticky, gloppy mess? Simply add one teaspoon to the boiling water, then add your rice. Not only will the rice separate beautifully, but it won’t stick to the pot either!

    #16 is a no no. Do not brush your teeth after acid has softened the enamel. I had to get veneers because of my love of lemonade.
