It sounds like a quirky home remedy or a peculiar trick, but this simple method—cutting a lemon into quarters, adding salt, and placing it in your room—has been touted for its surprising benefits. Here’s a deeper look into why this method might be more than just a curious household tip and how it could potentially transform your living space.
What You Need
- 1 Fresh Lemon: Ideally, choose an organic lemon to avoid the residue of pesticides and chemicals.
- Salt: Common table salt or sea salt will work.
- A Small Plate or Bowl: To place the lemon quarters on.
How to Use the Lemon and Salt Trick
- Cut the Lemon: Slice the lemon into four equal quarters. You don’t need to remove the rind—leaving it on will help to release the lemon’s natural oils and aromas.
- Add Salt: Sprinkle a generous amount of salt onto the cut surfaces of each lemon quarter. The salt will draw out moisture from the lemon and enhance its natural aroma.
- Place the Lemon in Your Room: Arrange the lemon quarters on a small plate or bowl and place them in different areas of your room. Ideally, position them in spots where you frequently spend time or where you’d like to neutralize odors.
- Let It Work: Leave the lemon and salt in place for several hours or overnight. The lemon’s scent will diffuse into the air, and the salt will help to absorb moisture and odors.
