Whether you’ve inherited a kitchen that needs a good spruce up or you’ve got a brand-new kitchen you want to keep sparkling, here are some ways you can use one simple ingredient to clean your surfaces.

The modest lemon

At a mere 30p in your local supermarket, you can pick up this fantastic cleaning product. Don’t believe us? Here are all the surfaces you can clean with natural lemon juice after your kitchen refurbishment Surrey!

Appliances

Appliances like microwaves and dishwashers can harbour lots of bacteria and be quite tricky to clean, especially when food remains are combined with high temperatures.

To clean the inside of your microwave, you can cut a lemon in half and pop it into a microwave-safe tub with some water, then heat it until it’s boiling before using the lemon to wipe away any stubborn stains. Be sure to let the lemon cool down a little first!

For your dishwasher, place cut-up lemons on your top racks for added shine or place them directly onto a sprinkling of baking soda at the bottom of your dishwasher. Then put it on a hot cycle.

Kitchen surfaces

Lemons have sanitising qualities, so their juice can be used to clean surfaces like cutting boards and artificial work surfaces, providing a hygienic area and removing odours left by food. However, you should never use lemon juice on chrome as it can be abrasive, and the same goes for natural wood or stone.
