Lemon is a natural disinfectant thanks to its high citric acid content. It helps eliminate bacteria, dissolves grease, and neutralizes unpleasant odors, while leaving a pleasant fresh scent.
Salt, on the other hand, is an excellent abrasive that removes stains, absorbs moisture, and helps disinfect surfaces. Together, they provide a powerful, 100% natural cleaning solution.
1. Eliminate Bad Odors Naturally
Do you open your refrigerator or microwave, and an unpleasant odor comes out? Don’t panic, lemon and salt come to the rescue!
How to do it?
- Cut a lemon into slices and arrange them on a plate.
- Sprinkle with salt and place the plate in your refrigerator or microwave.
- Leave it to act for a few hours: the odors will be absorbed, and the air refreshed.
You can also scrub the inside of the fridge with half a lemon covered in salt for a deeper clean.
2. Clean and Degrease Pots and Pans
Grease residue and burnt-on food stuck to pans can be difficult to remove. Fortunately, lemon and salt act as a powerful natural degreaser.
Instructions for use:
- Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle the pulp with salt.
- Rub directly onto the surface of the pot or pan.
- Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water.
This trick also works for disinfecting wooden cutting boards!
