Let's figure out in what cases a housewife should use citrus fruit.

There is scale in the kettle

Lemon juice easily copes with scale. And better than citric acid.

You need to throw a few pieces of citrus fruit into the kettle, add water, put the pot on the stove and turn on the burner.

The liquid should boil for a while. Then the burner should be turned off and wait for several hours.

Next, the kettle needs to be rinsed with plain water.

The inside walls of the microwave have become dirty

Citrus fruit will also help if the walls of the microwave oven are covered with a layer of fat and dried food residue.

You need to take a lemon, remove the zest, put it in a deep container and fill it with water.

The dishes should be placed in the microwave oven. The heating time should be 5 minutes.

As a result, dirt will be removed with incredible ease.

The cutting board is dirty

A dirty board that has started to smell bad should be sprinkled with salt.

Next, you need to “go over” the device with a slice of sour fruit.

After this, the board should be rinsed with clean water. The result of the procedure will be the ideal cleanliness of the kitchen utensil.

There is an unpleasant smell in the kitchen

In most cases, the source of the stench is the trash can.

The garbage should be sent to the garbage chute, and the container should be wiped with lemon. This will mask all the extra smells.

The dishes are washed

Got your plates clean again? Rub your hands with a little lemon juice.

This simple procedure will help restore the softness of your skin.
