Give-Aways


I have been wanting to join for months now. This is the birthday gift I requested from my husband. I can't wait to select my software title that comes with joining and am hoping to get more organizing tips from the weekly letters.

Lovely Lemons and Their Many Uses
by Patty Liston

Many of us know the old trick of tossing used lemon wedges down the garbage disposal as a way of cleaning it — and delivering a lovely citrus scent. Well, it seems that there are other things that one can do with these wedges, which I thought I would share.

Cleaning Countertops. Squeeze a few drops of juice directly onto stains and scrub with baking soda. Wipe away the mixture with a damp sponge. Don’t do this if you have really delicate, porous marble countertops though—lemon juice is powerful stuff and could cause discoloration.

Copper Pots and Fixtures. When it’s time to give your copper pots or hardware a little love, slice a lemon in half and dip it in some salt before rubbing it on spots.

Faucets. To fight lime scale, apply some lemon juice and let it sit overnight. Wipe away with a wet rag, or use an old toothbrush to slough off any stubborn bits.

Dishes. Adding a little bit of lemon juice (about a teaspoon) to your dishwashing detergent can help boost its grease-cutting power.

Cutting Boards. If you’ve got lingering stains on wood or plastic cutting boards, slice a lemon in half and squeeze juice onto the spots, rub, and let it hang out for 20 minutes before rinsing.

Hair. My mother used to mix lemon juice with a little water and rinse my hair with it. My hair was always squeaky clean and extra shiny. I still use this remedy today!
