Question
We are accustomed to descale an electric kettle by boiling water with lemon slices in it. I would like to know if it is permissible to use lemons sanctified with the holiness of the Shemitah year? Thank you and have a blessed day
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is forbidden to use Shemitah lemons for cleaning, as it ruins them from being edible by hand.
