How to use lemons in everyday life: 5 useful tips

SSPDaily has prepared tips on how to use lemons in everyday life. Find out recommendations for increasing freshness, cleanliness, and aesthetic appeal with minimal use of chemicals and artificial products.

Freshening the air

Lemons can be cut in half and placed around the house to give off a natural, refreshing scent. You can also boil lemon peels in water on the stove to create a citrusy scent throughout your home. This natural air freshener is effective and does not contain harsh store-bought chemicals.

Cleaning and degreasing

Mix lemon juice with white vinegar and water to create a powerful cleaner, ideal for tackling greasy kitchen surfaces. Thanks to the natural acidity of lemons, they are great for removing grease and dirt, leaving surfaces shiny. In addition, lemon wedges can be used to clean and deodorize cutting boards, providing a fresh surface for cooking.

Restore wooden furniture

A mixture of lemon juice and olive oil can be a natural furniture polish, restoring the shine and glow of wooden furniture and nourishing the wood. In addition, lemon oil protects and improves the condition of wooden cutting boards and utensils, extending their life.

A natural insect repellent

A lemon-based spray which consists of lemon juice, water, and a few drops of essential oil can be a safe and eco-friendly alternative to commercial insect repellents. Spread lemon peels around your front door and windows to repel insects and create a natural barrier against pests entering your home.

Decorative decoration

Arrange whole lemons in a decorative bowl or around a candle to create an aesthetically pleasing citrus element that adds bright color and exudes a delicate citrus scent. In addition, lemon peels can be used to create a decorative potpourri, filling different corners of the house with a delightful citrus scent.
