Lemon juice is one of the strongest acids in our kitchen--so instead of buying harsh cleansers, try lemon first
Ever come in from gardening and just can’t get the grime off your hands. Rub a lemon on them. It will not only remove the stains but whiten your fingernails as well.
And now that your hands are picture perfect, how about cleaning, aargh. Shine the interior of copper cookware. Sprinkle a lemon wedge with salt, then scrub.
How about those food stains like tomato sauce that get into plastic and wooden cutting boards. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon onto the soiled surface and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with water. Voila—clean again.
How about those tea stains on your best tablecloth. Use equal portions of lemon juice and water and apply with an eyedropper or a qtip. Rinse with cold water.
Tired of browned fruit that you cut and take to work. Sprinkle lemon on apple or pear or guacamole and you will eliminate this.
How about all those products you buy to whiten your teeth. Take lemon juice and mix with baking soda and you have an inexpensive way to achieve the same result.
½ tsp turmeric, 2 tsp lemon juice and 3 tsp of mashed papaya. Apply avoiding your eyes and leave on for 20 minutes. Wash off and enjoy.
These are only a few of many uses for the lovely lemon. Let your imagination be your guide--have a great weekend!!
