Cleaning with Lemon juice?

[Reborn]

Its okay Rivlas. Hope the family emergency wasnt too bad. What book do you get your tips from?

It's a book called..Household Hints & Tips published in 1990

The emergency was that DH was playing netball against his students and ruptured his Achilles tendon and was operated on that night. He hopes to be home tomorrow, then months of recovery.

Funnily enough I came in here to start a post about the wonders of cleaning with lemons (a bit sad, really, but I was excited) and I found this post!

I just used two lemons and now have a clean brita filter, a clean kettle and a clean microwave.

I cut a lemon into 8 parts and just used it like a mini sponge/scrubber in the brita filter jug, inside and out. It lifted all sorts of grossness and it looks like new.

I then put some lemon wedges in the kettle with water and boiled it, then wiped down the inside of the kettle- took most of the brown stuff off.

I took the water from the kettle, with lemons still in, and put it in a micro container and zapped it in the micro for 2 minutes, then went and wiped down the inside and all the mank came away really easily.

Lemons rock as a cleaner!!! I feel like Shannon Lush!

(as well as making awesome lemon tart....that's next on my list!)

Do you like lemon cordial? My DH makes it whenever we have plenty and it lasts for ages in the fridge.
If you do keep bottles to put it in.

Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year
