Patilebu gets a ripe place in the household refrigerator in summer. Lemon contains vitamin C, which helps to cope with the tired feeling that occurs in the body due to heat and increases performance. Patilebu can be taken frequently in salt-sugar-lemon water, salad or dal-rice chips. And into it falls the lemon peel that has squeezed out the juice. Which eventually ends up in the dustbin. As a result, garbage increases.

But do you know, instead of throwing it away, it can be used in many ways! It is especially useful in cleaning dishes. Here are 4 easy ways to use it.

Lemon peel extract mixed with baking soda can be used to remove sticky burn marks from dishes.

To remove burnt spots on dishes

If it is in the fire for a long time, many times sticky burnt spots sit on the dishes. It cannot be lifted with ordinary dish soap. Using a wire mesh scrubber also scratches the dishes. To remove such stains, lemon wedges can be mixed with baking soda. If you rub it well, any sticky spots will come off in no time.

To clean silver ornaments and utensils

Grated lemon wedges can be mixed with salt. This natural ‘scrub’ can easily remove tarnish from silver jewelry and dishes. Finally, wash it in warm water to make it shine like new.

To remove oil from oily dishes

Many times the oily feeling of the dishes does not want to go away even after repeated washing with artificial dish soap. If left in the oiled state for some time, it becomes more compressed. It becomes difficult to get rid of the oily smell. Fill a large bowl with hot water and add the squeezed lemon peel. If it has a little juice left, even better. In this, utensil can be immersed in oil for up to 20 minutes. Remove it from it and wash it in cold water.
