• For washing up, fill the bowl with hot water, a dash of soap-powder and half a lemon. Wash in this solution and rinse with clean water. This will clean the dishes much better than any branded washing-up liquid, and makes glass gleam!
• Soak burnt pans in the above solution, then finish with a scouring sponge to restore them almost to new.
• The lemon-soap solution is great for cutting grease and grime on walls and surfaces too.
• Use half a lemon dipped in salt to clean chopping boards.
• To make the kitchen smell wonderful, place lemon peel on a baking tray and bake in an oven heated to 180 degrees farenheight for 20 minutes.
