Experienced housewives use lemon not only in cooking, but also to solve household problems and for cosmetic purposes.
There are several situations where lemon is an excellent remedy that will be a good analogue.
Nice smell
If a stench has formed in the kitchen, you can use the trick with lemon and cloves. The citrus peel and spice are boiled in a small saucepan or stewpan. In just a few minutes, almost the entire home will smell good, not just the kitchen.
Cat toilet
Lemon instead of air freshener. You can put a plate with lemon peel near the tray. It will kill the unpleasant smell. But do not put it too close to the cat toilet. Pets do not like the smell of citrus fruits.
Anti-rust agent
Apply lemon juice to the stain and sprinkle soda on top. Then take a sponge or squeezed lemon and wipe the rusty surface.
Against insects
They say that the sharp smell of lemon repels cockroaches and ants. If you wash the floor with water to which lemon juice has been generously added, the insects will stop appearing in the home.
Instead of bleach
Half a glass of freshly squeezed juice without pulp is poured into the washing machine tray instead of powder or bleaching balm. Experienced housewives claim that this product works just as well.
