How to … freshen up two household appliances with half a lemon
It seems the uses for lemons are almost innumerable.
We came across another two hints which we thought were clever and also frugal.
Don’t toss your lemon halves after juicing. They can be reused to freshen up your fridge, and your dishwasher!
- When you have juiced half a lemon, scoop out any remaining flesh and fill the empty half with salt. Sit it in a small cup or ramekin in your fridge and it will absorb nasty odours and also impart a lemony scent.
- Pop a squeezed lemon half in the cutlery basket of your dishwasher. Again musty flavours will be replaced with lemony freshness.
