Neutralize the odors of fish or onions on your hands by rubbing them with slices of lemon. Deodorize the garbage disposal with leftover lemon peels.  Simply drop in, turn on disposal, and flush with water. Polish unlacquered brass and copper.  Sprinkle a little salt on the cut side of half a lemon and rub it on the tarnished item.  Rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. Clean the microwave with this tip from Heloise's new book, "In the Kitchen with Heloise: Using a microwave-safe bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into a cup of water.  Let the mixture boil in the microwave for 5 minutes, then wipe off the condensed steam. Bleach tomato stains from plastic storage container.  Rub the cut side of a lemon over the stained areas of the container; leave the container in the sun for a few hours for extra lightening. Remove rust stains from washable fabric by applying lemon juice and salt to the fabric and placing it in the sun.  Keep the stained area moist with lemon juice until the spot disappears.  Brush away dried salt, and wash as the label directs.
