Lemon as a cleaner - boil some lemon pills and use it to wash your floors - great shine!
insert a pill of half a lemon into the dish washer - the cleanest dishes tell me what you think,,, Alex

Here's what I think, Alex--
An oil that is in lemon skins will react with some plastics, making the plastic permanently sticky and fogged. So don't put lemon peels in your dishwasher if you have anything plastic in there. In fact, if your dishwasher has any plastic parts, it is probably wise not to put lemon peels in it. In general I think these lemon tips can only be money saving where lemons are very cheap or where they grow on trees in your yard. Here in the Midwest USA, lemons are not what I would call inexpensive.

I love the idea of freezing the peels of the different citrus fruits to be able to boil them on the stove as a scent for the kitchen. I throw away a lot of them. Probably would be good in a compost pile as well.

Wow, I didn't know there were so many ways to use lemons! I'll have to give some of them a try...I love the smell of lemons as cleaning supplies, and the taste is refreshing. Now that I have all of these ideas I can buy more lemons and put them to use! Thanks everyone
