The first is known for its effective cleaning properties and its various antiseptic, bleaching and degreasing properties. It effectively removes various grease stains, even the most stubborn ones, and helps unclog drains and neutralize the bad odors that are given off. It is also very useful for cleaning the different surfaces of your home (floor, kitchen, bathroom, etc.) without having to use chemicals or put in a lot of effort to scrub them.
As for the second, its high citric acid content gives it bleaching, disinfecting, antibacterial and deodorizing properties. It is excellent for removing lime and grease deposits, as well as various types of dirt. Natural and safe for your health, lemon juice is excellent for making household chores easier. You can use it to shine your cutlery and glass, disinfect your cutting board, clean your bathroom fixtures, and more.
So, all you need to do is take ½ cup of lemon juice and heat it up, before adding the same amount of baking soda. Proceed slowly as this mixture causes a bit of boiling due to the chemical reaction between the two ingredients. Gently stir the mixture, then gradually pour it down the drain. Leave it for about ten minutes to allow the grease and grime to dissolve. Finish by pouring hot water down the drain to rinse everything out. Just like that, your pipes will be unclogged, clean, and you won’t smell any unpleasant odor anymore.
You can also use the same trick to clean your sink or bathroom. Apply it to the desired surfaces – sinks, bathtubs, toilets, etc. – then leave it for about ten minutes. Scrub with a soft cloth, then rinse with warm water. You will see how clean, shiny and full of freshness they will be.
