4 Uses For Lemons You've Never Thought of Before

You know after you reheat spaghetti or soup in the microwave, inevitably there will be tomato-sauce splatters and carrot chunks spewed all over. Every once in a while, you'll think, "Oh, I'll wipe the mess up later. I'm starving." But, later never comes, and the red sauce turns crusty and is almost impossible to clean up.

The steam of the lemon water will hydrate the crusty food, which will make it easier to wipe clean.
