Orange peels: Never throw them away again, put them in a jar and add vinegar

If you’re looking for an  all-natural  cleaner, maybe DIY, we’ll show you one that’s completely  homemade and super cheap  !

Vitamin C is essential for the health of our immune system and you should try to get enough of it, especially in winter.

Citrus fruits  are the ideal and most practical solution. Freshly squeezed orange juice, for example, is very popular. Especially to bring the valuable vitamins it contains to children.

They are also commonly used in cooking, but there are many citrus fruits. Not only to eat them, but also as an ingredient in many recipes.  Lemon  is used a lot.

And the bowls? Normally they are discarded. And that is a mistake.

The cleaner we are about to show you  is made from citrus peels .

Natural household cleaner, how to make it

What do you need?

  • 3 oranges (degreaser);
  • 1 lemon (antibacterial and against unpleasant odors);
  • white wine vinegar (excellent cleaning agent, disinfectant and limescale remover);
  • 1 Voice;
  • 1 spray bottle.

Squeeze oranges and lemon and make a nice juice. Save the peels.

You will notice that citrus residue remains in them. Here is the basis for your household cleaner!

Take a glass and  cut all the peels into small pieces . Place them in the jar, squeezing them if necessary, and pour the vinegar over them, as much as you need to cover the peels up to the edge of the jar itself.

Seal the jar and store   away from light sources for 2 weeks . This time is used to macerate the citrus peels well, releasing the elements useful for making the detergent.

After 2 weeks, filter everything and throw away the peels. Fill the spray bottle with the liquid of vinegar and citrus extracts and use it  on any surface  you want to clean, including steel parts.

The result will amaze you  and also leave a pleasant scent!

Of course you can use any citrus fruit. Not just lemon and orange, but also tangerines and grapefruit, for example.

Have fun cleaning!
