We often insist on filling our detergent cabinet with various flashes and sprays, each suitable for each surface, ignoring that all we have to do is reuse half of a lemon .
In fact, this citrus has cleaning, degreasing, polishing and anti-limescale properties that can be a blessing for most surfaces in the home.
Therefore, today we will see together how to use half a lemon to whiten bathroom ceramics and make it like new again!
Preparation
Before seeing how to whiten bathroom ceramics with a lemon, it is a good idea to prepare this natural sponge. All you need to do, then, is take a lemon and cut it in half , after which you can now use this half to degrease and clean the various surfaces in your home with a gentler approach. .
For a more effective and slightly more abrasive effect, however, we suggest dipping half of the lemon in a small saucer containing a little salt until creating a thin white layer . Then, let the salt soften in contact with the lemon and voila: your sponge is ready to use !
The idea is to use this salt sponge as you normally would with abrasive sponges that have a rougher side.
NB We recommend that you use fine salt and avoid coarse salt as it can be very abrasive and could scratch surfaces. Additionally, it is advisable to always shake the sponge before using it to remove excess salt.
Methods of use
Once you have prepared your lemon sponge, all you have to do is use it to whiten the bathroom ceramics . You can use it on the toilets but also on the tiles, rubbing gently and letting it act for about 10 minutes before rinsing well.
The lemon sponge will not only help whiten these surfaces and return them to their original whiteness, but it will also be able to remove any lime stains. Also, in the case of yellow stains along the interior walls of the toilet, you can rub several times until the lime deposits dissolve.
The ceramic in your bathroom will never be so white and so shiny!
