I have always liked the scent of lemon. Not only does lemon refresh and flavor water nicely, it can also breathe new life into the kitchen, laundry and bath. Lemon contains citric acid which is a natural bacterial and antiseptic agent. The acid breaks down grime and it's low PH level makes it hostile to many pathogens which makes it a safe and natural disinfectant option.
Here's a few ways to use it:
* rub a slice on your counter to degrime, freshen, sanitize and deodorize.
* great for cleaning the microwave. Use it with some water and microwave the mixture for several minutes to soften splatters inside.
* Use it in the bathroom on shower doors, metal fixtures, tile and grout.
* great in the bathroom for mildew and mold.
* in the laundry lemon helps to whiten whites, and brighten colors. Add a cup of lemon juice to enhance the effectiveness of the detergent.

Those are some really good tips for lemon. Sometimes we forget how something so simple could be used so many different ways. I have al lemon hand soap in my kitchen that I love.

I love it when my mom slice it and put it in a jar with honey and water.

@celticeagle Lemon is magnificent. I like rubbing it into my hands then running my hands through my hair. Makes me smell fresh all day!
