The acid dissolves the tarnish and the abrasives assist the cleaning. As a sanitary kitchen deodorizer the juice can deodorize, remove grease, bleach stains, and disinfect; when mixed with baking soda, it removes stains from plastic food containers. The oil of the lemon's peel also has various uses. It is used in cleaning wood and polishing, where its solvent property is employed to dissolve old wax, fingerprints, and grime.
