Lemons, Why Dip In Salt: Grandma’s Old Trick

Before antibacterial sprays, Grandma used lemon’s citric acid + salt’s antiseptic power to sanitize countertops, sinks, and more—no chemicals needed.

4. Grandma’s Quick Breath Fix

Need fresh breath in a pinch? A tiny dab of lemon juice + salt on the tongue was her instant mouth freshener. (Use sparingly—citric acid can weaken enamel!)

5. An Old-School Digestive Trick

Some grandmas swore by a tiny lick of salted lemon after meals to ease bloating or indigestion. (Check with your doctor before trying this regularly!)

Why This Trick Still Works

Science backs Grandma up:

Together, they’re a cheap, eco-friendly, and effective solution for countless household tasks.
