- Use lemon to get rid of water spots on chrome faucets and on shower doors. You can spray lemon juice onto the surface or literally just cut the fruit in half and rub it directly onto the hardware.
- Additionally, a DIY lemon juice + baking soda paste will get rid of that gnarly urine smell coming from your toilet. Scrub the mix all over the toilet (like, all over) and let it sit for fifteen minutes then rinse by flushing and/or wiping it off with a clean, wet rag.
- Use a halved grapefruit to clean and exfoliate your tub. Sprinkle cut half of the fruit and bottom of the tub with coarse salt then use grapefruit (fruit side down, obviously) to scrub the tub and around the drain. Rinse with warm water. Spoiler: Your next shower is going to smell delicious.
- Let the hot shower run for a few minutes before cleaning to steam up the bathroom. Lots of cleaning products work more effectively at warmer temperatures, plus it might jostle loose some persistent grit and grime and also allow dust to clump together for easier removal.
