This simple yet effective tip involves mixing lemon with charcoal to create a powerful solution that can help with a variety of household tasks, from purifying air to eliminating odors. It’s a budget-friendly method to use what’s already in your kitchen to save money and make your space cleaner and fresher.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 3-4 pieces of charcoal (activated charcoal works best)
Instructions
- Prepare the Charcoal: Break or crush the charcoal pieces into smaller chunks. If you’re using activated charcoal, it can be placed in a breathable cloth bag or bowl.
- Cut the Lemon: Slice the lemon in half. You can either squeeze the juice out or use the lemon halves as is.
- Mix the Lemon and Charcoal: Place the lemon halves or juice near the charcoal. If using juice, pour it over the charcoal. Let them sit together in a dish, bowl, or container.
- Place in Desired Area: Set the mixture in areas where you need odor removal or air purification, such as your refrigerator, closets, or bathrooms.
- Let It Work: Allow the combination to work its magic for at least a few hours. The charcoal will absorb odors, and the lemon will freshen the air.
You can refresh the mixture every couple of days for long-lasting results!
