She Puts A Squeezed Lemon In The Dishwasher. The Reason Is Amazingly Clever!

I love life hacks for the kitchen and lemon is one very common thing when it comes to tricks and hacks. I’ve seen a lot of useful tips, but I think that the one I’m about to reveal for you is one of the best so far – and simplest.

You can use an old, squeezed lemon. So, you don’t have to throw it away after cooking. Perfect!

Or, you can use a brand new, fresh lemon. To get more of the lovely smell that comes along with this trick.

So, if you just put the lemon, old or new, in the dishwasher along with the dirty dishes it will get a fresh smell of lemon.
But, first and foremost: The lemon will make your dishes cleaner than ever!

It’s so simple! Again: Put the lemon in the dishwasher, old or new. Run the dishwasher like you always do with your regular detergent. Voilà! Spotless plates and silverware!
