We have seen many uses of Vinegar, WD-40, not only they are used for their intended uses in cooking and automotive respectively but they are also used widely in homes and do a variety of jobs effectively. Now there is another one which you can use in homes also, they are lemon juice.

Here are some effective uses for lemon juice.

  • Remove ink spots from clothing.

    While ink is wet, apply lemon juice liberally to the spot, and then wash the garment in normal cycle with regular detergent in cold water.

  • Get rid of dandruff.

    Apply one tablespoon of lemon juice to your hair. Shampoo, then rinse with water. Rinse again with a mixture of two tablespoons lemon juice and two cups water. Repeat every other day until dandruff disappears.

  • Write with invisible ink.

    Use a Q-tip as a pen to write in lemon juice on a piece of white paper. Once it dries, hold the paper near a hot light bulb. The writing will turn brown.

  • Eliminate blackheads.

    Rub lemon juice over blackheads before going to bed. Wait until morning to wash off the juice with cool water. Repeat for several nights until you see a big improvement in the skin.

  • Create blonde highlights.

    Rinse your hair with one-quarter cup of lemon juice with three-quarter cup water.

  • Deodorize a cutting board.

    Wash with lemon juice to rid a cutting board of the smell of garlic, onions, or fish.

  • Remove fruit or berry stains from your hands.

    Rinse hands with lemon juice.

  • Remove rust and mineral discolorations on cotton t-shirts and briefs.

    Use one cup of lemon juice in the washer.

  • Clean a microwave oven.

    Add four tablespoons of lemon juice to one cup water in a microwave-safe, four-cup bowl. Boil for five minutes in the microwave, allowing the steam to condense on the inside walls of the oven. Then wipe clean.

  • Whiten, brighten, and strengthen fingernails.

    Soak fingernails in lemon juice for ten minutes, then brush with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and warm water. Rinse well.

  • Stop bleeding and disinfect minor wounds.

    Pour lemon juice on a cut or apply with a cotton ball.

  • Relieve poison ivy.

    Applying lemon juice over the affected areas should soothe itching and alleviate the rash.

  • Clear up facial blemishes.

    Dab lemon juice on the blemish a few times a day.

  • Eliminate odors in your humidifier.

    Pour three or four teaspoons of lemon juice into the water.

  • Relieve rough hands or sore feet.

    Apply lemon juice, rinse, then massage with olive oil.

  • Clean brass, copper, and stainless steel kitchen sinks.

    Make a paste from lemon juice and salt, scrub gently, then rinse with water.

  • Relieve a cough.

    Mix four tablespoons of lemon juice, one cup honey, and one-half cup of olive oil. Heat five minutes, then stir vigorously for two minutes. Take one teaspoon every two hours.

  • Train a dog to stop barking.

    Squirt some lemon juice in the dog's mouth and say "Quiet."

  • Relieve constipation.

    Before breakfast, drink four tablespoons of lemon juice in one cup warm water. Sweeten with honey.

The last one I use every morning before breakfast, one fresh lemon squeezed juice with a teaspoon of olive oil, it does a remarkable job in cleaning the body. You can withstand the day without any problems, it seems like you are lubricating your stomach organs and pipes. You won't feel any stomach aches throughout the day.

Wow, I never would have thought the acid in lemon juice would help dandruff, very interesting. I guess I'll use lemons for more than just a twist in my beer (when I run out of limes, of course). I know people used to think lemon juice helped get rid of freckles.

Stacie, you can also try this, when you wash your hair, wash it with cold water, never use hot water, that also eliminates dandruff. I do the same it works like a charm, but I will also try lemon juice. I bought a bunch of them from Farmer's market, so it is really helpful.

To clean and sanitize a barbecue grill I normally skewer half a lemon on to the prongs and rub down the hot plates/grill plates... great way to clean the grill before preparing food!

How long have you been drinking lemon juice with olive oil every morning? Will this hurt the stomach or teeth?

Emily, I have been doing this for about four months now. It doesn't pose any problems, olive oil and lemon juice are very good for health. I just take juice from a full lemon and then add a tablespoon of olive oil, it really helps.

Dear Cgull, thank you very much. I've been doing this for more than a month, a friend recommended this drink me to see if it has any effect on my gall stones. I had some concern if it would have any side effect. Now I can rest assured having you ahead of me. Thanks again, Cgull. With my best regards.
