If you've ever seen someone stick a drinking straw into a lemon, you can be sure that it was done for a reason.

It turns out that this clever trick helps you easily extract juice from sour citrus fruits.

Let's explain in more detail: first, you need to wash and dry the lemon, and then place it on a flat surface.

Using light pressure from your hand, roll the fruit over the surface.

After this, cut off the top end of the lemon and insert the tube into the resulting hole.

If everything was done correctly, the juice will flow through the tube into a carefully placed container.

Don't rush to throw away the squeezed citrus - together with soda, it can effectively clean spoons, mixers or other metal objects.

Cut the lemon into two halves and sprinkle each of them with soda, after which you can rub the resulting “sponge” on the surfaces that need cleaning.
