Orange Peels: Immerse Them in 1 Bottle of Water and Save Money!

🌬 2. Air Freshener

Pour into a small dish and let it naturally scent a room, or spritz into the air like a DIY Febreze — without harsh chemicals.

🧽 3. Fridge Deodorizer

Soak a cotton ball in the infusion and leave it in your fridge to neutralize odors.

🪴 4. Plant Leaf Shine

Use a soft cloth dipped in the orange water to gently clean and shine houseplant leaves.

🛁 5. Refreshing Facial Rinse (optional)

Use chilled citrus water as a quick morning face splash — orange peel contains antioxidants that brighten the skin. (Do a patch test first.)

Bonus Tip: Freeze the Peels for Future Use

Don’t have time to use the peels right away? Just freeze them in a bag until you’re ready to make your citrus water. They’ll keep their essential oils and fragrance beautifully.

Final Thoughts

Something as simple as soaking orange peels in a bottle of water can make a surprising difference in your home — saving you money, reducing waste, and eliminating the need for chemical-laden products. It’s sustainable, natural, and incredibly satisfying.
