Lemons are not just for cooking or adding zest to your favorite recipes—they’re also a secret weapon in the laundry room. Using lemons in your washing routine can transform your laundry, leaving it cleaner, fresher, and naturally brightened. Here’s how and why you should try this simple trick.
Why Lemons Work in Laundry
Lemons contain citric acid, a natural cleaner and deodorizer. This powerful yet gentle acid helps break down stains, dissolve mineral deposits, and neutralize odors. Additionally, lemon juice has mild bleaching properties, making it ideal for brightening whites and refreshing colors without harsh chemicals.
