Lemons are very acidic, and their acid is antibacterial, antiseptic, and acts like a natural bleach. It can also be much more pleasant to clean with lemon juice because the smell is natural and refreshing rather than overpowering and chemical like most cleaning products. Express.co.uk chatted to Lynsey Queen of Clean (@ lynsey queenofclean on Instagram) to find out what cleaning tasks you can tackle with lemon juice.
Baking soda can work on its own as a cleaner with no need for vinegar.
Lynsey recommends sprinkling it on mattresses, shoes and rugs, leaving it overnight, and then hoovering it up to get rid of dirt, dust and bad smells.
You can also sprinkle some in stained Tupperware with a dash of water and leave it overnight before rinsing it - this will get rid of the stains.
Mix baking soda with water to make a paste and spread it on the walls and door of the oven and leave it overnight - wipe it off with a damp cloth to reveal clean glass.
