Pete discovered the other day quite by accident (someone has still got to explain that one to me) that lemons remove the mould that builds up on grout between bathroom tiles very effectively. In a subsequent experiment, we discovered that it’s also pretty good at getting limescale and other gunk off a stainless steel sink and draining board. You just cut a lemon in half (or use one that you’ve already squeezed juice out of), rub it well onto the grout or sink, and then rinse off.

And now Treehugger tells me that Lemons Help Hands Too, so I thought I’d do a bit more research. Here are a few more tips for including lemons in your life.
