But as well as gifting the lemons and oranges, Nat uses the lemons for cleaning too.
To clean his kettle, he cuts two lemons, puts them inside the kettle, fills it up with water and boils it.
Once the water has stilled, he boils it again before tipping the contents away and rinsing it out.
Alongside snaps of his kettle before and after cleaning, he explained: "The black bits on the inside of the kettle is from the water due to the hardness of it."
