Even the most diligent housewife will have trouble with refrigerator odor. No matter how attentive you are, over time, the moment you open the refrigerator door you will always feel upset. So every time you use lemon for cooking or beauty care, don’t throw away the remaining lemon peel. Chop it up, wrap it in gauze and place it in a corner of the refrigerator. Every time you open the refrigerator door, you will be happy with the pleasant fragrance. Of course, remember to change it frequently.

Tip 3: Remove odor from tableware

Putting a few slices of lemon peel (you can also add some orange peel, or a few drops of vinegar) in the dishwashing water can eliminate the fishy and other odors on the dishes and tableware. At the same time, it can soften hard water and increase the gloss of porcelain. Similarly, if you wipe a kitchen knife that has been used to cut fish with lemon peel, the fishy smell can be removed; if you keep boiling the pot with some lemon peel, the fishy smell can be completely eliminated.

Tip 4: Remove stains from kitchenware and tableware

Use a small bowl of warm water to soak the squeezed lemon peel, and then pour it into kitchen utensils or water cups with tea stains, oil stains, water stains, etc. After 4-5 hours, these stains will be wiped away.

When cooking in the kitchen, it is easy to get fish, meat or oil smell on your hands. Soap or laundry detergent cannot remove the smell, but rubbing your hands with lemon peel is very effective. If you can soak your hands in lemon water, the effect will be even better. Moreover, rubbing your hands with lemon peel can make your skin delicate and smooth because of the lemon oil it contains.
