It’s March, and that means spring cleaning is on the horizon. As with beauty and culinary pursuits, lemons and other citrus fruits can also support DIY cleaning endeavors. Citrus fruits retain seemingly endless properties that make them the DIY spring-cleaner’s secret weapon and a key ingredient in many natural home cleaning solutions. In that spirit, Limoneira spokesperson Megan Roosevelt, alongside guest vlogger March collaborator Ashley from Ashley’s Green Life, will be bringing her favorite DIY cleaning methods to the Limoneira YouTube channel all month long.
For a helpful demonstration, you can watch Megan and Ashley create the recipes below here on the Limoneira YouTube channel. Don’t forget to subscribe – videos with more wonderful recipes, tips and tricks not detailed in this release will be added to the channel each Friday throughout the month.
Limoneira has also partnered with additional global chefs and mixologists, nutritionists, and beauty lifestyle and green cleaning experts to share their knowledge with the customers of our grocery and food service partners around the world. Their biographies can be found on Limoneira’s website.
