Why put cloves in a lemon: a powerful home remedy

Lemon is rich in vitamin C and releases essential oils that are beneficial for the respiratory tract. Clove, on the other hand, helps purify the air. Together, they create an atmosphere conducive to better breathing, especially in winter or during allergy periods.

Try it:
Place a studded lemon near your bed or desk. Its  mild yet effective scent  helps clear nasal passages while providing a feeling of freshness.

Zero odors in the cupboards (and even in the car!)

A drawer that’s feeling a bit stuffy? A car that’s lacking freshness? Lemon with cloves can also be found in the most unexpected places in your daily life.

In practice:
Slip half a lemon studded with nails into a light cloth (muslin type), then place it in your drawers, cupboards or even under the car seats.  Replace it when the smell becomes too subtle.

Rustic decor that really makes an impact

Beyond its practical virtues, this small olfactory object is also a very pretty decorative idea. A bowl of studded lemons in the center of the table or on a shelf adds a natural,  elegant, and warm touch  to your interior.

Quick tip:
Choose organic lemons with a bright yellow skin, prick them symmetrically, and arrange them in a pretty wicker basket.  Simple, natural, and aesthetically pleasing.

A clever solution that’s gentle on the planet

No need for fancy gadgets or expensive sprays: this ancient remedy ticks all the boxes. It’s  economical, eco-friendly, compostable , and completely safe for the whole family.
