Not all items and products need to be used for specific purposes only. With a little imagination, you can find unusual uses for the most common things - in our case, it is lemon.
Instructions
Step 1
It is not necessary to use any type of detergent to descale the kettle. There is a lemon for this. Lemon zest should be finely chopped and put into a kettle. We pour water there. Then we put the whole thing on fire and let the water boil. After boiling, leave everything as it is and let it cool down. After an hour, rinse the kettle thoroughly. Scale as if it had happened! Please note only that if there is a lot of scale, then this procedure will have to be repeated several times.
Step 2
Lemon can also be used as a freshener. To do this, cut the zest and put it in a pot of water. We put on fire until boiling. As soon as the water boils, you should not turn off the gas completely. Steam this lemon water over low heat. You will feel that the air has become much fresher and more humid. There is only one drawback to such a freshener. If you do this procedure before bedtime, then you will not be able to fall asleep. This is due to the fact that the essential oils contained in lemon do not act relaxing, but on the contrary, that is, invigorate.
Step 3
Everyone has long known that lemon has antibacterial properties. Therefore, with the help of it, you can protect the cutting board from the growth of mold in it. To do this, pour boiling water over the board, then rub it with a lemon wedge. We leave in this state for some time. Then we rinse everything thoroughly with water and wipe it off, but certainly dry.
Step 4
As you know, the skin on the elbows, knees and heels is not very soft. You can fix this with lemon. Cut the lemon into 2 parts. We take one half and rub it on the place that needs to be softened. Just before doing this, do not forget to sprinkle a little soda on the lemon. After this procedure, we wash the skin, wipe it dry and moisturize it with a cream. It is advisable to do all this at night.
Step 5
Lemon can also be used as a bleach for white cotton fabrics. It copes especially well with rust stains. To do this, you just need to add a little citric acid to the washing machine.
Step 6
Lemon can also be used to lighten age spots, or rather its juice. Apply it to problem areas and leave it on for 10-15 minutes, no more. Then wash it off with warm running water.
Step 7
Well, the last way to use lemon is to remove dandruff. To do this, rub the scalp with lemon wedges before washing. This should be done no more than 2 times a week. But there is one thing: under no circumstances do this procedure if you have sensitive or dry scalp. In this case, you will only harm.
