Wash the Lemon
Rinse the lemon under running water to remove any dirt or residue. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
Cut It in Half
Use a sharp knife to slice the lemon across its middle. You’ll end up with two halves exposing the juice and pulp.
Place on a Saucer
Put the lemon half cut-side-up on a small dish or saucer. This prevents any sticky juice from damaging surfaces.
Optional Enhancement
If you’d like to boost the scent, sprinkle a few drops of essential oil directly onto the pulp. Alternatively, insert a few cloves or a small piece of cinnamon stick into the lemon for a more complex aroma.
Position in the Room
Place the lemon saucer in a strategic spot, such as near your bed, on a windowsill, or on a countertop—anywhere you’d like to freshen the air.
