Lemon juice is a versatile natural cleaner that can effectively tackle a variety of stains on different surfaces. It’s a great addition to your cleaning arsenal, and its natural properties make it safe to use in your home.
Materials Needed:
- Lemon juice (fresh lemon or bottled lemon juice)
- Table salt (optional)
- Sponge or cloth
Steps:
- Start by obtaining some lemon juice. You can use fresh lemon juice from a lemon or bottled lemon juice from the store.
- Soak the rust-stained knives or other items in the lemon juice for several minutes. Allow the lemon juice to work on the rust stains.
- After soaking, use a sponge or cloth to wipe away the rust stains. If the stains are particularly stubborn, you can add a little table salt to the cloth to use as an abrasive. This can help in rubbing away the stains.
- Alternatively, if the rust stain isn’t severe, you can directly squeeze lemon juice onto the rust stain and then use a cloth with a bit of salt to rub away the stain.
- Watch as the rust stains disappear as you clean with the lemon juice.
Additional Tip: You can also use lemon juice to remove juice and rust stains from clothing:
- Wet the stained area on your clothing with lemon juice.
- Boil some water in a tea kettle or on the stove until it steams.
- Hold the stained area over the steam for a few minutes.
- Finally, wash the clothing as usual, and the stain should be removed.
