Lemons can be useful for so many different things! Here are 7 tricks we didn’t know about

5. Cleaning a chopping board

We often use a chopping board to cut meat and vegetables on. Unfortunately, some bad smells can be left behind even after cleaning the board. A lemon can help with this, though. Rub half a lemon over the chopping board and you kill the bacteria on there and get rid of the smells. So handy!

6. DIY lemon and salt scrub

A face scrub can make your skin glow and make sure dead skin cells are removed. Who wouldn’t want that after a few grey and gloomy winter months? Unfortunately, face scrubs are pretty expensive. Luckily, it’s very easy to make your own scrub. An added benefit: it doesn’t contain any irritating ingredients like perfume and parabens. You need: 200 grams of sea salt, 250 ml oil (olive, coconut or almond) and 30 ml of lemon juice. Gradually add the oil to the salt until it looks like a scrub. Then mix the lemon juice through as well. Put the mixture in a nice jar and it would even make a nice gift!

7. Get rid of nasty smells

You know the deal: you’ve done some excellent cooking, but afterwards your hands smell like onion and garlic. Lemon can help you out! Rub lemon juice on your hands and the nasty smells will disappear. Do make sure you don’t have any small wounds on your hands because that will sting like crazy.
