1. Natural Air Freshener: Infusing Your Home with Citrus Scents
Transform your home into a fragrant oasis by using orange peels as a natural air freshener. Simply simmer a handful of peels in water on the stove, adding spices like cinnamon or cloves for an extra aromatic touch. The steam will carry the citrus scent throughout your home, leaving it smelling fresh and inviting. Alternatively, you can dry the peels and place them in small sachets to tuck into drawers or closets for a continuous burst of fragrance.
2. Homemade Orange Peel Vinegar Cleaner: A Powerful Disinfectant
Create a powerful, all-natural cleaner by infusing white vinegar with orange peels. Fill a jar with orange peels and cover them with vinegar, allowing the mixture to sit for two weeks. The result is a citrus-infused vinegar that can tackle grease and grime with ease. Strain the liquid and use it to clean countertops, windows, and other surfaces. The natural oils in the peels enhance the vinegar’s cleaning power while leaving behind a pleasant citrus scent.
