  • This makes them ideal for creating a multi-purpose household cleaner that is safe, inexpensive, and surprisingly effective.


    What You’ll Need

    • Orange peels (from 3–5 oranges, or save peels over time)

    • White vinegar (enough to cover the peels in a jar)

    • A clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid

    • Optional: A spray bottle for easy application


    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Peels

    • Wash oranges thoroughly to remove pesticides or wax.

    • Pour white vinegar over the peels until they are completely submerged.
