Part 4: Where Lemon Juice Goes Wrong

Using lemon juice without caution can lead to unexpected laundry mishaps:

• Fading Dark & Bright Colors: Because citric acid acts as a natural bleaching agent, pouring concentrated lemon juice over dark or brightly dyed fabrics can cause color stripping and spotty bleaching.
• Pitting Delicates: The acidic nature of lemon juice can weaken delicate natural fibers like silk, wool, and rayon over time.
• Pulp Clogging the Dispenser: Pouring fresh, unstrained lemon juice into your machine’s detergent tray can leave behind pulp pulp residue that traps mold and clogs water channels.
