25 DIY Uses For Lemon Peels

We recently made a post about the uses of orange peels, so it would only make sense to do a follow up with lemon peels! Here are 25 reasons that you shouldn't throw away those lemon peels!
lemon peels
1. Make an All-Purpose Cleaner

You can use lemon peels and vinegar to make a great and all-natural all-purpose cleaner. Do this by filling a container of your choice with lemon peels. Add in vinegar to cover the peels and seal with a tight-fitting lid. Put the container away and forget about it for two weeks. After two weeks, strain the lemon peels from the vinegar and add water to the lemon vinegar. This mixture will clean the greasiest and dirtiest spots around the house and you'll never have to buy and all-purpose cleaner again!

2. Skin Lightener or Brightener

Lemon is a natural skin lightener because it contains citric acid which is actually a bleaching agent. Apply the leftover lemon peels to your hands, face or wherever else you would like to lighten the skin and tighten the pores.

3. Garbage Disposal Deodorizer

In order to rid of poor smells coming from the garbage disposal, toss a few lemon or orange peels down the drain. Remove the fruit before doing this because the citrus-y juices could come splashing back in your face!

4. Simmering Stove-Top Scents

Add some lemon peels or rinds to a but of simmering water, cloves, cinnamon sticks and orange peels for a natural deodorizer and humidifier for the air.

5. Get Rid of Ants in the Kitchen

Scatter small slices of lemon peels around the kitchen to get rid of ants. Make sure you place them at the thresholds, windowsills, around door entrances and near any cracks where the ants may be entering. Ants do not like the smell of lemon and will not enter your home. They can also be effective protection against larger insects like roaches and fleas.

6. Coffee Cup Stain Remover

Have a favorite coffee cup that is stained at the bottom? Put a small section of lemon peel into a stained coffee mug and add water. Let the cup sit for several hours and then wipe it clean with a cloth. The stains should completely disappear!

7. Keep Your Refrigerator Fresh

Cut a lemon in half and place in the fridge to absorb the smells. This time, you should leave the fruit and peel together so that they moisture of the fruit can absorb the odor.

8. Tea Kettle/ Coffee Pot Cleaner

If you have mineral deposits in your tea kettle or coffee pot, fill the kettle with water and add a handful of thin lemon peel slices. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for an hour. Drain the mixture and rinse well. For a coffee pot, add ice, salt and lemon rinds to the empty pot, swish and swirl for a minute or two, then dump and rinse the mixture.

9. Microwave Cleaner

If your microwave is letting off stink, add lemon rinds to a microwave-safe bowl and fill the bowl with water half-way. Cook in the microwave on high for 5 minutes, allowing the water to boil and the steam to condense inside the microwave. Carefully remove the bowl and wipe away the mess in the microwave with a damp towel.

10. Chrome Polish

To cut through mineral deposits on chrome faucets and other tarnished chrome, rub it with a squeezed lemon half, rinse and buff with a soft cloth. For this cleaning method, the lemon should remain with the fruit inside.

11. Copper, Brass and Stainless Steel Polish

To brighten up copper, brass or stainless steel, dip half of a lemon in salt and rub it on the affected area. Leave the lemon on for 5 minutes, rinse with warm water and polish dry.

10 Surprising Uses For Potatoes

10 Surprising Uses For Potatoes
Did you know that you have many other choices for what to do with your potato? Check these out these unusual options:
1.  Create A Decorative Stamp
This is a fun activity to do with children. Instead of paying $5 or more for a rubber stamp, try cutting a potato in half widthwise. Carve a design on one half. Then start stamping as you would with a wooden version, using a stamp pad.
2.  Clean Up The Silverware
My mother taught me this one a long time ago: what to do if you're out of silver polish. Boil a few potatoes in water, just as if you were going to eat them. Remove them from the water and save them for another use. Put your silverware in the remaining water and leave it there for about an hour. Then remove the silverware and wash. No more tarnished silver!
3.  Remove Rust
Cut open a raw potato and rub it on a rusted area: the acid in the potato's juice will dissolve the rust, while the skin of the potato should remove it. For extra effectiveness on tough jobs, add a little soap or salt. Use it on pans in the kitchen or on surfaces like your bathroom sink or tools..
4. Shine Your Shoes
In addition to cleaning tarnished silver and rusty pans, potatoes can also be used to clean up your shoes. If you have shoes that just don't seem to take a shine anymore, try cutting a potato in half and rubbing those old shoes with the raw potato.  After that, polish them; they should come out nice and shiny.
5. Lose Those Puffy Eyes
Don't you hate it when you wake up in the morning and see puffy eyes staring back at you?  Bring on the potatoes and see the difference.  Lie down again and apply slices of raw, cold potatoes to your eyes for up to ten minutes to make that puffiness go away.
6. Keep Your Goggles Clear
And while we're on eyes, here's a trick for keeping your ski goggles clear so that you can see where you're going. Rub raw potato over your goggles before you hit the ski lift, and you should have no problem avoiding the people, rocks and trees on your way down.
7.  Make Vodka
You've probably been thinking about this one, since potatoes are well known as one of the main ingredients of vodka.  This video will show you how to make vodka in your own home, in case you have an excess of potatoes lying around your house.
8.  Heal Yourself
This one I am passing along, but have not actually tried it out. According to potato experts, potato juice may be a very effective treatment for certain ailments: it can aid in the healing process for sprains, sciatica, heartburn and bruises, as well as alleviate pain caused by ulcers and flush out toxins in the body. Just put cleaned potatoes with their skins on into the juicer. To make it more palatable, you might want to add other veggies.
9.  Make A Hot Or Cold Compress
Potatoes retain heat and cold well, so next time you need a hot compress, why not boil a potato, wrap it up in a clean cloth, and apply it to those aching muscles. For a cold compress, refrigerate the boiled potato.
10.  Desalinate Your Soup
When you taste that soup you're preparing and discover it's really salty, here's a way to fix it. Cut a few uncooked potatoes into large chunks and add them to the soup while it's still on the stove. After about 10 minutes, remove them and the excess salt they have absorbed. Voilà! Perfect soup!
Do you have other uses for potatoes? I'd love to hear about them!
