I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

Most lemons sold are waxed before they are shipped over, however, you can buy unwaxed lemons - I think you can buy these in Sainsbury's but I am not sure, it's best to ask when you go shopping as to whether the lemon is waxed or unwaxed.0

Horace is right.
Most supermarkets sell unwaxed lemons.
They look the same... only the label on the shelf states "unwaxed"
I did hear ages ago, that if you could not get unwaxed lemons or limes, give them a good wash with a little scrubbing brush to remove the thin layer of wax. I always do this now.0 -
You may need to use a little detergent as well, and then wash the detergent off!
Some health food shops sell a product which helps, similar to this:

yep
lemons are sprayed wit wax so they look shiny. the unwaxed ones just need a scrub with WUliquid and then a rinse and there you have it!
