I bounce back and forth between Lemon's and baking soda for deodorant. Lemon can get a bit acidic after awhile. But it's an amazing deodorant for those who worry about sweating! Thanks - 6/19/2012   8:47:08 PM

We use lemons in a natural flea repellant for our dog!

for anyone that wants to know how to make it here it is:

You take one lemon slice it very thin then put it into a bowl and pour 2 pints almost boiling water on it. cover it and let it steep over night. the next day squeeze the execs juice from the lemon slices and throw them away, then pour the liquid into a spray bottle and spray it on the dog! (we spray about 1 to 2 times a week)
It is a great natural flea repellant for dogs, for those of you (like me) who do not like using toxic/ chemical flea repellant on your animals. - 5/16/2011   2:17:40 PM

I especially like the one about cleaning the microwave! - 5/3/2011   7:00:14 PM

Thanks for the info. - 4/7/2011   1:01:34 PM

this is pretty interesting...going to try out the microwave one - 4/4/2011   4:07:37 PM

Very interesting! And most helpful! - 1/25/2011   6:39:29 AM

gr8 ideas!! - 1/25/2011   6:22:12 AM

These are very good tips. I do the lemon water in the morning and sometimes I add 1 TB of apple cider vinegar to the lemon water. - 1/11/2011   3:12:41 PM

I hope I can use all of these ideas, however, I am allergic to citrus, and lemon the worst. - 1/10/2011   8:26:48 PM

When our trees are full of lemons here in the Valley I squeeze lemons and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. I put the frozen cubes in a gallon freezer ziploc I can pull them out as needed for a variety of uses. - 12/20/2010   12:33:42 PM

I like to put a slice of lemon into a cup of hot water. The scent is refreshing! Makes a nice break from tea. - 12/19/2010   11:38:56 AM

I buy organic Lemon Juice and I use it in my Water daily as I don't like the taste of plain water. - 12/15/2010   1:46:34 AM

Nope, just for cooking! Great tips! - 12/14/2010   8:50:06 PM

I use the lemon in my sink/disposal too!! - 12/14/2010   1:46:21 PM

1/2 cup in your white clothes in your laundry does better than bleach to whiten them. - 12/14/2010   1:24:23 PM

Love the microwave idea, and I just happen to have a few lemons at home that need to be used! - 12/14/2010   12:32:18 PM

I like the one about using it as a deoderant. Gonna have to try that one. I've been trying different replacers for my favorite deoderant because it has cancer causing chemicals in it. - 12/14/2010   1:17:51 AM

Just tried #5: cleaning the microwave with steam and lemon juice- WONDERFUL! It didn't get all of the tough spots, but it got about 85% of it. And my microwave does smell lemony fresh :D - 12/14/2010   12:16:15 AM

These are new uses to me. Thanks for sharing! - 12/14/2010   12:14:29 AM

I use lemon juice on a cotton pad with a bit of sugar as an exfoliant on my face. I gently rub it on my face in a circular motion. It lightens dark scars and brightens up my face. I do this once every 2 weeks! - 12/13/2010   11:21:18 PM

I use lemon juice for cleaning my sink and disposal, I always cut the lemon peel after zesting it in to smaller pieces and run them in the disposal just briefly. They sit there and permeate my kitchen with lemon scent. I love it. - 12/13/2010   11:03:27 PM

I never knew there were so many good uses for lemons. I was pleasantly surprised to gain this knowledge! I will have to try the one for sunburn! - 12/13/2010   9:52:15 PM

If you have been cutting up fish and have the odour on your hands rub over with a lemon and the odour will go - 12/13/2010   9:14:10 PM

FYI: She said 3 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice. I'm going to try this tip tomorrow. - 12/13/2010   8:57:49 PM

thanks for the great tips - 12/13/2010   5:06:03 PM

Wonderful ... I never knew these. Thanks! - 12/13/2010   4:41:56 PM

I love these gems. Many thanks! ...AND I will use that lemon wisely! - 12/13/2010   2:08:23 PM

GREAT THANKS - 12/13/2010   12:49:08 PM

Please remember that the essential oils from lemons can cause a photosynthetic reaction on your skin. If you do put lemon on your skin, make sure that area is not exposed to the sun light! These are great tips though. - 12/13/2010   12:12:27 PM

Wow, this is great information, thanks! - 12/13/2010   11:17:19 AM

Regarding #5: If you ever burn something in your microwave and want the smell to go away. Use lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave and all a sudden your kitchen will smell amazing!! - 12/13/2010   10:46:39 AM

My son and I start everyday with drinking 1/2 of a lemon sqeezed in to a small amout of water. It's made a huge improvement with our stuffy morning noses. Over the weekend my son was at a sleepover, and didn't have his lemon water yesterday morning...this morning he's so stuffy, he sounds like he did before we started this lemon therapy. The extra acid in our digestive system keeps the mucus down and we feel 100% better since starting. I even had my SIL give it a try over Thanksgiving. For the 4 days we were there she didn't have to take any medicine to clear up her morning congestion, just drank lemon & water! WE LOVE LEMONS! - 12/13/2010   10:38:33 AM

Great uses for a lemon!!! Thanks!! - 12/13/2010   10:37:27 AM
