Other Great Lemon Uses
After you've seen this Lemon Dessert Roundup, you'll be inclined to rush out and buy a whole bunch of lemons! If you find yourself with some leftover, here're some great tips on how to use lemons for other purposes.
Use half of a sliced lemon to clean your cutting board. Rub the lemon over the cutting board and allow it to soak in for about 30 minutes before rinsing.
Once you've squeezed all the juice from a lemon, don't throw out the rinds. Drop one or two down your kitchen sink's garbage disposal and give it a whirl. It helps to clean the blades, not to mentioned it helps to eliminate odors that have built up.
They can help loosen gunk that has built up in your microwave. Boil a large cup of water with lemon juice, or leftover rinds, for several minutes. It really helps remove cooked food splatters and gives your microwave a really fresh and clean smell
Bleach can be so harsh on white clothing or other linens. To get your whites whiter with out chemicals, try this instead. Add some water to a large pot. Throw in a few lemon slices, and bring to a full rolling boil. Turn off heat then carefully add your linens. Let them soak until the water has completely cooled, then continue with laundering them as usual .
You can use them to make an all purpose, non toxic house hold cleaner. Boil lemon peels and vinegar until it reaches a boil. Turn off the heat and let it cool. Add the mixture to a plastic spray bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with water. Shake it up and use on any hard kitchen surface like counter tops or bathroom surfaces.
