    Been in my book again and found these uses for lemons.
    Rust Stains: Dip lemon in salt and scrub to remove stains.
    Emergency Shampoo: Mix 1 egg and juice of 1 lemon and wash hair in cool water
    Hand lotion: Mix equal parts of olive oil, lemon juice, honey & glycerine and store in a bottle
    To freshen a room: Stand a bucket of water containing slices of lemon in a smelly room

    Emergency shampoo indeed!!

    I wouldn't imagine it would start to go mouldy... it's just the juice part. And if you got any of the pulp anywhere the worst I think would happen is that it would dry up into something small and crusty looking XD

    Apparently you can use it to clean your shower with, and polish brass and copper.
    It can be mixed with bicarb soda to make a cleaning paste
    AND, you can cut one in half, sprinkle bi carb on the lemon and use it as a sort of spunge to rub stains out of things and remove rust...

    Have fun! If you're really that desperate to get rid of them you could cook me a lemon merang pie and post it over Yum yum!

    Lemon juice is really good at getting rid of mold actually - I use it in the shower. Next best thing to the sun for mold!

    Sorry I had to leave my post unfinished but had a family emergency.
    Will find more uses hopefully a bit better than the last lot when things settle down in a few days.
