Lemons are said to be natures' best disinfectant and deodoriser. Their mild acidic properties make them perfect for cleaning,Use Lemons in the End of Tenancy Cleaning Articles deodorising, and removing stains. It can be used very effectively in the end of tenancy cleaning. I strongly recommend that you clean with lemons and lemon-based solutions, instead of using toxic detergents.

Here are a few chores which you can successfully accomplish with lemon-based cleaners:

  • Window cleaning – squeeze a few lemons and fill up a cup with their juice. Pour the juice into a squirt bottle and add one cup rubbing alcohol. Shake the bottle to mix the products well. Spray your windows and every other glass surface in your rented property with this mixture, and wipe with a clean cotton cloth. This is the best window cleaners, according to most providers of end of tenancy cleaning services in London.
  • Squeeze a few lemons again until you fill up a cup, and put it in your microwave oven. Set the timer on four minutes, and let the steam coming out of the cup do its magic. All of the stains in your microwave will loosen up and you'll be able to wipe them off more easily. If you want you can cut a lemon in slices and put it in a bowl of water, it works well, too. Don't throw away the rest of the liquid in the cup, but use it to clean your stove-top and refrigerator.

  • The best way to disinfect your bathroom and toilet is with freshly squeezed lemon juice. This method is recommended by a lot of end of tenancy cleaners in London.
  • If you want to clean your kitchen sink, sprinkle a mixture of salt and baking soda all over it and rub with a lemon cut in halves. The acid of the lemon, the alkaline properties of the bread soda, and the abrasive structure of the salt will remove all water marks and soap scum.

Lemons are really effective in the housecleaning process and can be of great use to you in the end of your tenancy.
