Lemon Magic in the Laundry

I am very interested in these uses. This will surely save me a few $$$ in a year from buying lint remover, stain remover and bleach! I am excited to give these tips a try!

  1. Removing Ink Stains - lemon juice and cream of tartar will do the trick. Cover the stain with cream of tartar and then drizzle a few drops of lemon juice over the stain. Rub the mixture into the stain in a few minutes  and then remove the powder with a clean brush or sponge immediately with warm water. Repeat if necessary.
  2. Lint Remover - add 1/4 cup lemon juice to you cycle to prevent lint from sticking to your white or lightly colored clothes.
  3. Fabric Whitener and Bleach Substitute - add 1/4 cup lemon juice to the cycle. Wash and rinse as usual. For brighter, fresher-smelling results, air- dry in the sun! 
  4. Rust stains - cover the stained area with salt and squeeze lemon juice on the top. Let stand for an hour. Brush with a scrub brush and then wash and dry as usual.
  5. Whiten dull socks - Boil a pot of water, add two slices of lemon or 1/2 tsp lemon juice and soak for 10 minutes. 
* Lemon juice is an old-fashioned yet an effective and safe whitener and mild bleach. It's natural whitening properties can be enhanced if the item can be air-dried in the sun.

Okidoki let us all start doing laundry the lemon way. It's is not only  natural but also smells good! Have a happy laundry day! :)
