Who Needs Toxic Chemical Cleaning products? Use lemon Juice Instead!


Fans of Organic mattresses will be interested to know that Lemon Juice is a very acidic yet natural way of solving many household issues. Not only does it help the common cold and act as a preservative in foods. It’s acidic qualities can help keep your home sparklingly clean!

1.       As a disinfectant- Lemon juice can be used to clean areas such as chopping boards, work tops and fridges without harm. They will leave them smelling fresh too

2.       Getting Rid of Grease- Mix with plain water and apply to greasy pots, pans or surfaces. It will blitz the grease away

3.       Shining windows – Mix one part lemon juice with 10 parts water and use as a window cleaner to get great shine

4.       As a Polish – mix with ordinary table salt and then apply and leave for 10 mins on to tarnished copper, chrome or brass and then rinse with warm water and bring to a shine with a soft cloth

5.       Toilet freshness- Mix with borax powder (available at some health food stores) and use the mixture to clean the loo! Use rubber gloves or a toilet brush to protect your hands from the borax

6.       Handwash- deodorises and cleans at the same time, great for getting rid of garlic smells!
