Lemon juice

If you've ever had a lemon tree in your backyard, or even somewhere in your neighbourhood, you will have discovered that there are only so many ways you can eat or drink lemons before these prolific trees are simply wasting their fruit! However, they are especially handy for cleaning things around the home, either when juiced or simply chopped in half.

To clean brass with lemon juice, you can either use it neat, or mixed with vinegar and/or baking soda.
