The same method with vinegar can be used with lemon juice,   since   <\/strong>this citrus fruit is a great ally against mold<\/strong>  . To use it, soak a sponge in a solution made from a glass of lemon juice and two tablespoons of water,   then place it on the  <\/strong>affected area  <\/strong>of \u200b\u200bthe tray  <\/strong>. <\/strong>  Leave it to act for a few minutes while the lemon dissolves the mold stains, then wipe with the same sponge to remove them completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
