Citrus Uses

April 25, 2008 - 11:14 am 2 Comments


I love the smell of citrus, and there are so many uses for it.  Here are a few (new to me uses) from the list of 27 uses for citrus.  

  • Rub lemon on your faucets to remove lime scale, hard water stains, and soap residue. It also works on porcelain.
  • Whiten tennis shoes by spraying them with lemon juice and placing them in the sun
  • Stud an orange with cloves and hang it in your closet to keep moths away.
  • Rub fresh orange or lemon peels over your exposed skin to keep away mosquitoes and gnats.

 

~And my favorite way to use lemons, is to put about an ounce of the juice and some water in a spray bottle and spray throughout the house. I’m off to do that now, because right now my house smells like dirty diapers…. I’m glad it’s trash day, and I’m glad for lemons.

    I didn’t check the list of 27 uses–does it mention anything about putting them on french fries? It almost makes the fries seem healthy.

    Yumm! I love that flavor….

    The list doesn’t talk about that one, but that is a good one…
