Recipe: Lemon Slice Drain Freshener

 

Ingredients:

• 1 fresh lemon slice (thin, about 1/4 inch thick)
• Optional: 1 tablespoon baking soda
• Optional: 1/4 cup white vinegar
• Warm water

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   • Cut a thin slice from a fresh lemon.
   • Optional: For extra cleaning power, gather baking soda and vinegar.
2. Drain Placement:
   • Place the lemon slice directly into the kitchen drain.
3. Optional Cleaning Boost:
   • For a deeper clean, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of baking soda down the drain before placing the lemon slice. Then pour 1/4 cup of white vinegar into the drain. Let it fizz for a minute or two.
4. Rinse:
   • After placing the lemon, run warm water over the drain for 30 seconds to help break up any grime or lingering odors.
5. Freshening Effect:
   • The acidity and oils from the lemon will naturally help to eliminate unpleasant odors and leave a fresh, citrusy scent. The optional baking soda and vinegar act as a gentle scrub for the drain.
6. Repeat:
   • Repeat this process weekly or as needed to keep your drain smelling fresh and clean.
