I found a great article at Green Living Tips, outlining 24 Uses for Lemons. I’ve included a few of them below; be sure to read the complete article for even more great uses for lemons!
Ant deterrent –Pouring lemon juice around areas that ants frequent is said to repel them.
Air freshener – An equal amount of lemon juice and water added to an atomizer will create a wonderful synthetic chemical-free green air freshener for your home.
Fridge – Half a lemon stored in your fridge will help control and eliminate unpleasant smells.
Chrome/copper/brass – Rub a lemon juice and baking soda paste onto chrome or copper, rinse and then wipe/buff with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Furniture – 2 parts olive oil or cooking oil mixed with 1 part lemon juice makes for an excellent furniture polish!
Lime scale – Use a half lemon to clean the lime scale off a sink or taps/faucets; rinse well.

I just keep learning and learning….. great ideas!!! Thanks for posting!!Patricia, Sugar & Spice & All Things ? Nice
Pat, who knew there were so many uses for lemons??
That’s really cool. I didn’t know any of those uses for a lemon. I really like the furniture polish one. It would certainly be a lot less expensive than those aerosol spray cans, and no overspray to make the floors near slippery, either. Thanks for posting the great tips.

Thanks for some great ideas! I love when one item can be used for tons of uses.
Kathleen, I love that too and I’m going to be keeping a few lemons on hand from now on!
