While this may not be everyone's most anticipated event of the new season, we've adopted a new approach to how we tackle dirty chores and think you'll be inclined to give it a try yourself after learning the many uses and benefits of this proposed alternative method of cleaning -- the answer is lemons!
Too often does one incur the costly pitfalls of having to use numerous conventional cleaning solutions for sprucing up their various household items. Harsh chemicals come at a price and while money does not grow on trees, you'll soon be grateful that lemons do! Through our web-based research on "green" spring cleaning we discovered that this sunny citrus does cleaning wonders on a myriad of common surfaces, in addition to having natural antibacterial and disinfectant properties.
Did you know that...
Lemon juice can be used to:
- Cut grease,
- Polish furniture,
- Remove stains, odors, rust,
- Dissolve soap scum, hard water deposits, and
- Is great for killing germs, especially on bacteria-trapping work surfaces like cutting boards.
It's also safe to use on laminate counter tops, tile floors, chrome faucets, grout, wood, glass and even certain fabrics!
