Sweat-stain remover: Use the bleaching effect of lemon juice to remove underarm stains on your light-colored shirts. Spray the juice on the stains, let sit for 20 minutes, and launder the shirts in cold water only. (Hot water can further set the stains.)
Moth deterrent: “Replace the mothballs in your closet with an all-natural insecticide: dried lemon peels.” Wrap cheesecloth around the peel from one lemon and hang the pouch from the clothes rod. The peels should be replaced when their scent vanishes.
