Lemon juice is quite often used in cooking: as a marinade, as well as an ingredient for various dishes and drinks.
In addition, citrus juice is often used in folk medicine.
Of course, to get a sour and healthy drink you need to squeeze the lemon. In many cases, the remaining fruit is simply thrown away.
However, experienced housewives never do this, because there are many options for using squeezed lemons in everyday life.
Microwave cleaner
Using a squeezed lemon, you can quickly restore the cleanliness of the microwave oven walls.
To do this, you need to put the citrus peel into the device and set the time - 30-60 seconds.
After heating is complete, wipe the walls of the device. To do this, "go over" the surface with a cooled lemon peel. All dirt will be removed instantly.
Plumbing cleaner
Lemon peel easily removes stains from faucets, taps and shower heads.
If you wipe the plumbing with citrus peel, the limescale will disappear.
Fabric stain remover
The remains of the sour fruit will be an ideal means for removing stains from clothes.
First of all, we are talking about grease stains and sweat stains on white items.
It is enough to rub the soiled area with lemon pulp 1-2 hours before washing. Clothes treated in this way will be washed perfectly in the washing machine.
It is worth noting that using lemon to clean colored items is an undesirable action. The life hack is only suitable for white clothes.
Air freshener
Even squeezed lemon has a pleasant smell. This property is worth taking advantage of.
You need to finely chop the remains of the citrus fruit. The resulting mass should be sent to a saucepan, filled with plain water and add a little vanilla extract. The liquid should be brought to a boil.
The prepared infusion should be poured into a jar or a deep plate. The container or dish should be left for some time in a room where there are unpleasant odors. Soon all the extra "aromas" will be removed or "masked".
Seasoning
Don't forget about the option of using squeezed lemon in cooking.
Thus, crushed lemon peel will be an excellent seasoning for many meat, fish and vegetable dishes.
