5 things you can do with a lemon part 1

Ever have a lemon fruit left over and wonder what to do with it ?
Here are 5 ideas to make use of it, rather than let it go mouldy in the fridge (or go out with the trash)

1. Smell it - Put some lemon juice and water in a spray bottle, you can then use it as a room freshner.

2. Wash it - You can add a drop of lemon juice to your washing up, when doing greasy pans.

3. Gargle it - Take the juice of a lemon mix with water and a pinch of salt and garlgle as a mouth freshener.

4. Squeeze it - Squeeze a dash of lemon on fruit or salad (like iceberg lettuce) and it will help stop it wilting or losing crispy / freshness.

5. Steam it - Stick some lemon juice in a microwave bowl with water, boil the water for enough time that the steam gives the inside of the microwave a good steam bath, then after carefully removing the water, wipe down microwave walls with clean cloth.

There - easy peasy lemon squeezy! - Got any other uses for lemons ? - feel free to share in a comment below - I will be adding other uses and benefits of lemon based wonders, in another post, at another time!
