Other Ways to Use Lemons in Our Apartments Near The Villages, FL

You may have heard the expression, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” While lemons can be used in a wide variety of recipes, there are actually many other household uses for them. So, even though life at PepperTree Apartment Homes is luxurious and wonderful, if you ever find that life does hand you some lemons, try one of these alternative uses for them.

• Freshen up the refrigerator. The kitchen of each unit at PepperTree has a large refrigerator with an ice maker. Keep it smelling fresh by squeezing some lemon drops onto a clean, dry sponge and leaving it in the fridge overnight.

• Deodorize the garbage can. You can do this by placing a few peels at the bottom of the can, underneath the liner. Just remember to throw the peels away after a week or so.

• Clean a wood cutting board with salt and lemon. First, sprinkle salt over the board. Then, use half a lemon, cut side down, to scrub the board. Let it sit for five minutes, then, rinse and let air dry. This method is preferable to using soap for a couple reasons: it is gentler on the wood so your board will last longer, and salt and lemon are not harmful to ingest should some remain on the board and come in contact with your food.

Using the above tips, residents can enjoy a natural way to clean and deodorize things in their apartments near The Villages, FL.
