Mix ½ cup lemon juice with a bucket of warm water for a gentle floor cleaner. Works great on ceramic tile or linoleum—just avoid natural stone (it’s too acidic).


11. Remove Rust Stains

Sprinkle salt over a rust stain (on metal or fabric), then pour lemon juice on top. Let it sit in the sun for a few hours, then rinse. The combination is a natural rust-busting powerhouse.


12. Refrigerator Deodorizer

Soak a cotton ball in lemon juice and place it in your fridge. It neutralizes odors and keeps your fridge smelling clean and fresh.


13. Coffee Pot Cleaner

Add lemon slices and a few tablespoons of baking soda to your coffee pot, fill with hot water, and let it soak for an hour. Swirl and rinse to clean out built-up oils and stains.


14. Remove Soap Scum

Apply lemon juice directly to shower doors or bathtub edges where soap scum builds up. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a damp sponge.


Final Thoughts:

Lemons aren’t just for flavor—they’re a powerful, natural alternative to chemical cleaners like bleach. With their antibacterial properties, fresh scent, and versatile use, you can keep your home sparkling clean the eco-friendly way. 🍋✨

Bonus Tip: After juicing lemons, don’t toss the rinds! Use them for cleaning, freshening up your sink, or even in your DIY air fresheners.
