10. Deodorize Trash Cans
Toss a few lemon peels into the bottom of your trash can or compost bin. The peels help combat odors naturally and break down easily.
11. Whiten Your Teeth (Use Caution!)
Mix a small amount of lemon peel powder with baking soda to make a natural (and occasional-use) teeth whitener. Just be gentle—acidic compounds can wear down enamel if overused.
12. Boost Your Firewood
Dried lemon peels make excellent fire starters. Their natural oils are flammable, and they release a pleasant aroma when burned. Perfect for cozy nights by the fire!
Final Thoughts
Next time you squeeze a lemon, think twice before tossing the peel. Whether you want to clean your home, cook creatively, or go greener, these citrusy scraps are packed with potential. Not only will you reduce waste, but you’ll also discover natural, low-cost alternatives to common household products.
So go ahead—give lemon peels the second life they deserve. Your home (and the planet) will thank you.
