- Winter holidays are fast approaching, and while you’re busy planning meals, buying gifts and decorating, there’s one more preparation that shouldn’t be overlooked: cleaning your home top to bottom to prepare for the influx of guests. While we tend to focus on the obvious areas – like the kitchen counters and toilets – there are several overlooked spots that are prone to grime, odors and buildup that can make or break your hosting experience.
Luckily, citric acid is here to save the day. Naturally derived, citric acid is a powerhouse cleaner that’s effective and safe when used as instructed, which is why it’s the main grime-fighting ingredient in all of Lemi Shine’s products. It’s also an incredibly versatile cleaner, effective for everything from tough mineral buildup and rust stains to deodorizing your appliances. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners, citric acid is biodegradable and won’t leave behind harmful residues. Here’s how you can use citric acid in five areas you may have missed during your holiday prep.
1. The Garbage Disposal
Hosting a holiday dinner means your garbage disposal will be working overtime with leftovers of all sorts going down the drain. Any food and grime that is left clinging to your disposal can lead to unpleasant odors that linger long after the meal is over.
Citric acid is perfect for eliminating any funky smells in your garbage disposal. It works by breaking down organic matter and dissolving mineral deposits that can cause unwanted buildup. Simply drop Lemi Shine’s Garbage Disposal Cleaner into the drain, let it fizz, and enjoy a fresh, clean sink.
2. The Dishwasher Filter
If your dishwasher filter gets clogged with grease, soap scum, or food particles, your glassware won’t shine like it should, leaving you with dishes that look dull or streaky. No one wants to serve guests with cloudy glasses, especially during the holiday season.
Citric acid is excellent at dissolving mineral deposits and tough buildup that can form in your dishwasher over time. It breaks down hard water stains and limescale, leaving your machine spotless. Using Lemi Shine’s Dishwasher Cleaner ensures that your dishwasher will run smoothly and your dishes will come out sparkling.
3. The Coffee Machine
From morning coffee to evening cocoa, your coffee machine sees a lot of action during the holidays. However, mineral buildup caused by hard water can clog your machine, impacting its performance and negatively affecting the taste of your beverages.
Citric acid easily dissolves mineral deposits, limescale, and rust, ensuring that your machine stays in top shape. Using Lemi Shine’s Coffee Descaler will leave your coffee tasting fresh and smooth, like it should. Plus, it’s safe to use on any type of coffee maker, from drip brewers to single-serve machines, and won’t leave any harmful residues behind. Just make sure to review your machine’s specific instructions prior to use.
4. Bathroom Fixtures
With more guests visiting your home, the bathroom inevitably sees more traffic. Unfortunately, this means water spots, soap scum and rust stains will build up quickly on faucets, mirrors and shower tiles.
You guessed it, citric acid breaks down hard water stains, soap scum and rust. It can easily be applied to faucets, showerheads and mirrors leaving them looking new again without the use of harsh chemicals. Lemi Shine products are septic safe as well, which is key since a backup is the last thing you want when company is visiting.
5. The Washing Machine
'Tis the season for extra laundry – whether it's washing sheets and towels from visiting guests or linens for the dining table working overtime. But if your washing machine hasn’t been cleaned properly, it can develop smells or mildew, leaving your laundry less than fresh.
Citric acid attacks buildup in your washing machine, including soap scum and mineral deposits. By using Lemi Shine’s Washing Machine Cleaner, you can eliminate musty smells and ensure your laundry comes out fresh and clean every time.
This holiday season, go beyond the basics and give your home the deep clean it deserves that’s sure to leave guests impressed. For more tips and tricks, visit LemiShine.com. Happy holidays!
