Don’t throw away your orange peels: put them in a jar with a little vinegar… they are real treasures for the home

🧽 How to Use Your Orange Peel Cleaner

This DIY cleaner is perfect for:

• Kitchen counters & stovetops
• Bathroom surfaces
• Glass & mirrors (use with a microfiber cloth)
• Cutting boards (kills bacteria naturally)
• Trash cans & bins
• Sticky messes, grease, and soap scum

Avoid using on natural stone like granite or marble, as vinegar can etch the surface.

💡 Bonus Uses for Orange Peels

Even before you mix them with vinegar, orange peels are incredibly useful:

• Boil them on the stove with cloves or cinnamon for a natural air freshener
• Dry them and use in potpourri
• Grind dried peels and mix with baking soda for a homemade scouring powder
• Place fresh peels in trash bins or disposal units to deodorize

By simply putting your orange peels in a jar with vinegar, you’re not just saving waste—you’re creating a safe, natural, and wonderfully scented cleaner that will make your home sparkle. It’s a small habit with big benefits: less waste, fewer chemicals, and more value from everyday ingredients.
