Kitchen sinks tend to lose a lot of their shininess after constant use. They are also often a place for dangerous bacteria contamination. To counteract these annoying problems, you can mix some baking soda with lemon juice and use this potent combination to give your sink a good rub down. Make sure to also rinse the sink with some hot water once you are done rubbing in the mixture. You can make use of this simple cleaning hack once a week. This will not only guarantee a pleasant-looking sink but also safety from germs.
5. Clean your microwave
This is a real cleaning hack! Add lemon juice to a bowl of water and heat in your microwave for around 3 minutes. Make sure the water comes to a boil and then turn it off. Very important: Do not open the door of the microwave and simply let the bowl and its heated content rest in the microwave for a few minutes. What happens now is that the lemon-infused steam is going to soften up the stains inside the machine. And once you open the door you will have an easy time rubbing off all the stubborn residues you were struggling to get removed in the past.
6. Lemon tenderizes meat!
The acidity of lemons helps break down fibers, which in turn makes meat a lot softer and tastier. The only thing you will have to do is to add some lime to your meat when you are marinating it. You will need some patience, however, as it takes a few hours for the full effect to set in.
