The Claim
Some sources suggest that mixing lemon and charcoal can replace certain household or market-bought items, often in the context of:
Natural cleaning agents
Skin care remedies
Odor removal
However, these claims are mostly anecdotal and should be approached with caution.
Potential Uses
1. Natural Cleaning
Activated charcoal is known to absorb odors and impurities.
Lemon juice is mildly acidic, which can help with stains and shine.
A mixture can sometimes be used as a gentle scrub for surfaces—but never ingest it.
2. Odor Removal
