What if the solution to stubborn stains and bad odors was already in your kitchen? Our grandmothers knew it well: lemon and salt are powerful allies for cleaning naturally and effectively. Ecological, economical, and versatile, they can replace many chemical products! Discover how to use them daily for a clean and fresh home.
Why are lemon and salt so effective?
Lemon is a natural disinfectant due to its high citric acid content. It eliminates bacteria, dissolves grease, and neutralizes bad odors, while leaving a pleasant fresh scent.
Salt, on the other hand, is an excellent abrasive that loosens, absorbs, and disinfects surfaces. Together, they provide a powerful and 100% natural cleaning solution.
Ready to try these tips? Here’s how to use this effective duo throughout the house!
Naturally eliminate bad odors
Do you open your refrigerator or microwave and an unpleasant smell escapes? Don’t panic, lemon and salt come to the rescue!
How to do it? Cut a lemon into slices and place them on a plate. Sprinkle with salt and put the plate in your refrigerator or microwave. Let it sit for a few hours: the odors will be absorbed and the air refreshed. Bonus tip: You can also rub the inside of the fridge with half a lemon covered with salt for a deeper clean.
Clean and degrease pots and pans
Grease residues and burned food stuck to pans are often difficult to remove. Fortunately, lemon and salt act as a powerful natural degreaser.
How to use? Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle the pulp with salt. Rub directly onto the surface of the pot or pan. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water. This tip also works for disinfecting wooden cutting boards!
