Orange Peels: Immerse Them in 1 Bottle of Water and Save Money!
Think orange peels are just scraps for the compost bin? Think again! These bright, fragrant peels are hiding a surprising amount of value — and with just one simple trick, you can turn them into a powerful household solution that helps you cut costs, reduce waste, and bring natural freshness into your home.
All you need is one bottle of water and a handful of orange peels to unlock a variety of money-saving benefits. Ready to turn kitchen leftovers into everyday magic?
Why You Shouldn’t Toss Your Orange Peels
Orange peels are packed with natural oils, antioxidants, and a vibrant citrus aroma that’s both refreshing and functional. They contain limonene, a powerful compound with antibacterial and grease-cutting properties — which makes them perfect for DIY cleaning, air freshening, and more.
Instead of throwing them away, you can reuse orange peels to create a natural, non-toxic, and cost-effective multipurpose solution. Best part? It’s super easy.
What You’ll Need
- Peels from 2–3 oranges
- 1 large glass bottle or jar (with lid)
- 2 cups of water (filtered is best)
- Optional: white vinegar or a few drops of essential oil (for added potency)
Instructions: The Basic Citrus Water Infusion
- Peel your oranges and save the skins. Try to remove as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness if using it for fragrance or beauty.
- Place the peels into a clean glass bottle or mason jar.
- Fill the bottle with water until the peels are fully submerged.
- Seal the bottle and let it sit for 24–48 hours at room temperature (or in the fridge). The longer it sits, the stronger the infusion.
- Strain the liquid and pour it into a spray bottle or keep it in the jar for future use.
