Ever since I discovered this trick, I never throw away orange peels anymore

But now we’re going to talk about a completely different way to use these peels that only a few women know about. To these wastes is added something else.

The natural answer
We’re going to talk about vinegar. This is actually possible: we can break up the orange peels and pour enough vinegar into the jar to cover the peels fully.

After putting the vinegar in, tightly seal the jar and let it sit for about 15 days. This will allow the orange peels to break down and the citrus substances to be released, letting all the essential oils come out.

After this amount of time, strain the solution by removing the orange peel pieces. Then, put the liquid into a spray bottle and use it on dirt that won’t come off.

We will see that the vinegar and orange’s qualities will clean many of these surfaces, even steel, and let out a very pleasant smell.

This is because the peels released their essential oils when they were macerated. These oils mixed with the vinegar to make a natural cleaner that can clean and remove grease.

You can use this method on any citrus fruit, not just oranges, because they all have similar properties. For example, lemons or mandarins work well too.

Of course, this relies on our personal taste, but since the weather is nice right now, every time we eat an orange from now on, we can try this solution, which will almost certainly surprise us.

We won’t have to buy commercial cleaning products for the house, so we’ll not only have a natural soap that is good for our surfaces, but we’ll also have saved some money.
