Nathan Exposed: the naked truth about my gay life

Household cleaners have become a hot topic when it comes to being “green”. Not only do these products have toxic effects on the environment, but they also are toxic to us. So we’ve learned some cool new tricks that are very cheap and much better for the air we breathe in our home.

One worth mentioning is lemon juice. You can buy a small bottle of lemon juice in your local grocery store for under $1. You know the kind - they come in a little lemon shaped container that’s been around for decades.

This stuff is pure magic! Let’s take hard water deposits, for example. The ice and water dispenser on our fridge gets used daily. As a result, there was a thick build up of crud on the removable tray. We’ve tried scrubbing it, soaking it, even removing the tray and blasting it off in the dishwasher. No luck, this stuff would not budge!

Last night, I got the bright idea to put a few drops of lemon juice on it. Today, I walked by and it was completely clean! The lemon juice had eaten through all the crud, and there was no residue leftover.

Another cool trick is to drop juice around your faucets to clean soap scum. It will eat through the muck right in front of you. Notice how it bubbles and then disappears. Leave it there for about 15 minutes, then wipe it away.

Lemon juice can be used to remove all kinds of things, but be careful! It is acidic, so it could damage or ruin your counter tops and furniture. Just watch what you use it on. :)
