Charcoal absorbs odors in refrigerators, shoes, or closets.
Lemon can add a fresh scent.
3. Skin Care (Use Caution)
Some DIY face masks mix activated charcoal with lemon juice.
Warning: Lemon is highly acidic and can irritate skin, especially in sunlight, potentially causing burns or discoloration.
Safety Notes
Never ingest charcoal and lemon together unless using food-grade activated charcoal in small, controlled doses. Even then, consult a doctor, as it can interfere with medications.
Lemon juice is acidic and can damage surfaces or skin if used improperly.
Many “market replacements” claims are exaggerated; this mixture is not a substitute for food or essential items.
Safe Alternatives
Use activated charcoal packets for odor control.
Use lemon and baking soda as a safer, effective cleaning scrub.
Use lemon alone to freshen water or as a natural cleaner.
