© PinterestWhen you open your fridge, you may not find things that you would like to eat, but you will definitely find a few things that will help you in so many things. One of those things is a fruit that is not everyone’s favorite, but it is definitely our best “hack” item. Today, we will be focusing on lemons!
Lemons are citrus fruits that are extremely important for our health. It also makes our salads, drinks, dishes, and desserts irresistible. But we might have never heard about its other benefits that could help us around the house.
The acid in lemons could seriously help you take care of many things that you might have never found a solution for, like ants, to give an example. Lemons are great bug repellent, and that’s only one of its great benefits.
Cutting Board
If we are capable to see the bacteria living on the surface of the cutting board with our naked eye, we would never touch it with our bare hands again. But it is normal for these bacteria to breed there since we cut meat and vegetables on it on a daily basis.
However, to get rid of those scary germs, rub ½ lemon on it, and leave it that way overnight. You can wash the next morning like you always do, and it will be as good as new without any bad odor.
Mirrors and glass
Cleaning mirrors and windows could be an annoying process because it is not easy to make them look perfectly clear and spotless. But thankfully, lemons can help us do it easily by mixing 4 tbsp of its juice with 2 liters of water. The mixture it creates will make all your glasses look absolutely spotless.
Furniture
Furniture is basically the greatest catchers of dust and mud, even if you clean them daily, they somehow tend to get dirty easily. So just take 2 parts of cooking or olive oil and mix it with lemon juice. Your furniture will be beautifully polished!
Hair Brightening
When it comes to the hair, most women do a lot of effort to make it look healthier and longer. But when we decide to change its color, we end up putting a lot of chemicals that ruin everything. Well, here is an easier thing to do: pour on your hair some lemon juice, then sit in the sun for an hour. You will be surprised at the shade you will get!
