Among the many remedies passed down through generations, one of the most intriguing is placing salt on a lemon cut into a cross. This simple trick hides powerful natural benefits for your home — from freshening the air to repelling insects.
How to Prepare the Salted Lemon
1. Cut the Lemon
Cut a whole lemon in the shape of a cross, without fully separating the sections. This allows the segments to remain attached at the base.
2. Add Salt
Sprinkle coarse salt generously into the cut. The salt should sit inside the lemon, filling the cross-cut surface.
3. Place It in the House
Position the salted lemon in any area you want to refresh or protect from insects — on a small dish, in a decorative bowl, or inside a closet.
