Oranges are not only delicious and nutritious, but their peels have many practical uses as well.
-Steps to Make a Natural Cleaner with Orange Peels:
1.Peeling the Orange:
Peel the orange into long strips. Cut off the ends, loosen the peel with a spoon, and make a vertical cut to remove it in one piece.
2.Preparing the Peels:
Wash the peels with water and a pinch of salt to remove pesticide residues and parasites.
3.Creating the Cleaning Solution:
Place the cleaned orange peels into a clean plastic bottle, filling it halfway.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda (5 ml).
Fill the bottle with water, leaving some space at the top for fermentation.
4.Fermentation Process:
Let the mixture sit in a dry place out of direct sunlight for about 3 days.
Open the cap daily to release built-up gas.
Once the fermentation is complete, your homemade cleaner is ready to use. This natural cleaner is effective for washing dishes and cleaning kitchen surfaces, offering an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to commercial products.
