Bless Mother Nature, she has done it again. With lemon juice and salt you can make glassware sparkle removing any watermark stains.
Plus I found it to be a wonderful clean and natural deodorizer for my car.
Reading a copy of Old Farmer's Almanac I discovered I can keep and reuse my juice size glass that I park my toothbrush in. For years I have been recycling these Old English Cheese* jars because I could not remove the marks left on the inside of the glass from the residue left behind from my toothbrush and the hydrogen peroxide** I pour in the bottom of the glass to sanitize the moisture that drips down from the wet toothbrush.
Simply squeeze fresh lemon juice into the glass or vase you wish to clean and add enough table salt to offer a good scrubber. I used a baby bottle brush and scrubbed the stain away in just a few minutes. Then rinsed it out and washed with soap and water to use again and agin. If the stain is stubborn then let is set for a while and scrub again.
I always keep an open box of baking soda under the front seat of my car to continually keep my car smelling fresh. Empty out a little every week or so to expose a new top layer.
Normally that is all it takes. But this time I needed something stronger. Since I had just used the lemon juice to clean the glass I decided to squeeze the juice from an entire lemon, seeds and all into a bowl, even added the rinds. Placed the bowl on the floor of my car overnight and Wah-lah a clean smelling car for about 50ยข and ALL NATURAL. No harmful chemicals to inhale.
* Old English Cheese in a jar is the most unhealthy item I will ever recommend. But it does make the best tasting quick and E-Z cheese sauce (on page 57 in Volume 1 of Cooking with Judy) for dipping veggies and cold Guilt-Free fried chicken (same volume page 15).
** Hydrogen Peroxide is what doctors used to sterilize their office with before they started hiring janitorial companies to do the dirty work.
Happy to help you keep things squeaky clean the way Mother Nature intended.
From your friend in the kitchen, Judy
