Ever thought that the humble orange peel could be more than just a snack’s byproduct? Surprisingly, when combined with alcohol, this simple duo can work wonders around your home, solving a common problem effectively. This easy, eco-friendly trick harnesses the natural properties of orange peels infused in alcohol, creating a powerful solution you’ll want to keep on hand.
Why Orange Peels and Alcohol?
Orange peels are rich in limonene, a natural solvent that cleans and deodorizes effectively, while also having antibacterial properties. Alcohol, especially higher proofs like vodka or rubbing alcohol, acts as a preservative and enhances the cleaning power of the limonene.
What You’ll Need:
The peels from 2-3 oranges
A jar with a tight-fitting lid
Enough alcohol (vodka or rubbing alcohol) to cover the peels
Instructions:
Prepare the Peels: Start by peeling your oranges. You can use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove just the colored part of the peel, avoiding the white pith, which can add unwanted bitterness.
