Don’t throw away the orange peels, put them in a jar and add a little vinegar: it’s worth gold in the house.
the natural solution
We are talking about vinegar. In fact, by recovering a jar we can break the orange peels into pieces and pour vinegar into it until the peel is completely covered by the liquid.
Once the vinegar has been poured in, close the jar tightly and let it stand for about 15 days to macerate the orange peels and release the citrus substances so that all the essential oils come out.
Once this time has elapsed, filter the solution, removing the pieces of orange peel and pour the liquid into a spray bottle and use it on surfaces with stubborn dirt.
You will see that, thanks to the action of the vinegar and the properties of the orange, many of these surfaces, including steel, will be completely clean and a very fragrant smell will be released into the air.
Oranges: this is how to use the peel with vinegar
This is because, with maceration, the peels have released all the essential oils that have acted with the vinegar to form a natural detergent that has degreasing and disinfecting properties.
This method can be used not only with oranges, but with all other types of citrus fruits, as they have similar characteristics and, therefore, lemons or mandarins are also recommended.
Obviously, this depends on our taste but from now on, given that the season allows it, when we eat an orange, we can choose to experiment with this solution that will almost certainly surprise us.
In this way, not only will we have a natural detergent that benefits our surfaces, but we will also have saved some money in our wallet by avoiding buying commercial products for cleaning the house.
