Oh one added suggestion – It you have a dish that requires more scrubbing, add some salt on the lemon and scrub away!

This is my first time sharing the idea – I had thought people would think I am crazy lol. But it really works and the best part is, after you are done with your lemon that you cleaned your dishes with, you can throw it in the composter

Rebecca, what a great idea! I knew about the cleaning powers of lemons, but never thought to actually use one to scrub with!

I have suggestion for an even greener sponge that works great. A lemon! Just add a lemon to your grocery list every week. Cut a lemon in half and use one half to wash & scrub your dishes with. Once you have finished cleaning the dishes, just put that lemon on the side of the sink and you can use it next time you go to do the dishes. The other half you can put back in the fridge and safe it for another cleaning task. Lemons are also great for cleaning the bathroom. Use half of a lemon, cutting it into a few slices. Use a slice to clean the toliet, then through it away. Use another slice for the sink, etc… Anyways just give it a try, you will be convinced.
