Place the slices in the center of your room (or near odor-prone areas like trash cans, pet beds, or shoes).
The combination of lemon juice and salt absorbs unwanted smells while releasing a fresh, citrusy aroma into the air. Replace the slices every few days for continuous freshness.
2. Deter Insects
Many bugs, including ants and cockroaches, dislike strong citrus scents.
Arrange the salted lemon slices along windowsills, doorways, or any area where pests tend to enter.
The sharp scent of the lemon, enhanced by the salt, creates a natural barrier that keeps insects away without harmful chemicals.
3. Reduce Static Cling
Rubbing a salted lemon slice over fabrics like curtains, carpets, or clothing helps neutralize static electricity.
Simply cut the lemon, sprinkle with salt, and gently rub it across surfaces prone to static. The acidity of the lemon and the minerals in the salt work together to eliminate cling.
4. Clean Hard-to-Reach Areas
Use the salted lemon slices as a natural scrubber for grime in tight spaces, such as stove grates, sink drains, or bathroom fixtures.
