Hint 1: If you have little ones running around lemons are great to keep around the house.

A small amount of lemon juice dripped onto minor wounds can help stop bleeding and disinfect the injury (it will sting a bit). Lemon juice applied to itches, poison ivy rashes and wasp stings is said to relieve discomfort.

Hint 2: I've ran this tip before, and I'm running it again. Readers...if you haven't tried this tip I suggest just trying it once, you'll be amazed!

Heat a bowl of water and lemon slices in your microwave for 30 seconds to a minute; then wipe out the oven. Stains will be easier to remove and old food odors will be neutralized.
