Having lemons in the kitchen ready to be used is great as they can add so much flavor and depth to all kinds of dishes. However, sometimes it’s the case that you end up with lots of lemons around that need using and you’re unsure of what to do with them. Here are some ideas for creative uses for lemons to help you out.
As a Window Spray
Lemons are an amazing fruit as they provide so much to the kitchen but also can be used for so many cleaning tasks. They’re particularly good for cleaning glass as they help to achieve that gorgeous, streak-free shine that’s so desirable. Simply mix half a cup of lemon juice with two cups of warm water and half a cup of white vinegar and pour this into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto windows and then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
To Freshen Up the Microwave
Microwaves are a great invention, but they so often end up totally covered in food, which gradually becomes more solid and stuck the more it’s used. Cleaning this food can be a struggle, but lemons can help to make this an easy job. Take one whole lemon slice it up and add the slices to a microwavable cup filled with water. Heat this in the microwave for five minutes and then leave with the door shut for at least 15 minutes. The lemon juice and steam will help to dislodge the dried food while also leaving a lovely fresh lemon scent.
