Wait! Don’t throw out those lemon peels just yet. Keep them in a reselable plastic bag in the fridge and use them to get rid of those mug stains that your dishwasher missed.

Here’s how to do it: Sprinkle salt onto the pith of a lemon peel and use it to scrub a stained mug. The alkaline fruit easily dissolves an acid-based java stain. It also acts as a natural bleaching agent to quickly lighten the dark pigments in coffee.

1That’s awesome! I’ll admit to having that problem with my coffee mugs on a semi-regular basis.
