Is it a universally agreed-upon “fresh” smell? Cultural? Or is lemon fragrance just cheap to manufacture and use in products? Something else?
I don’t hate it, but I also don’t care for it, either. Now I’m curious why so many cleaning products use that smell.
Lemon is, itself, an effective cleaning product. You can use acid to clean a lot of surfaces and lemons, with their low sugar content, make an excellent natural source of acid for cleaning. You’d be surprised what kinds of stains you can get out with nothing more than half a lemon and elbow grease.
