Prepare the jar
Fill the glass jar with the orange peels, arranging them loosely, without pressing them.
Add the vinegar
Pour white vinegar until the peels are completely covered. Make sure they are well submerged.
Seal and store
Close the jar with its lid and let it sit for two weeks. Store it in a dark and cool place, out of the reach of children.
Strain the mixture
After the maceration time, strain the solution to separate the peels from the liquid. Store the infused vinegar in the same jar or in a spray bottle if you prefer.
Uses of vinegar with orange peels
Bathroom cleaning: Apply it to the bathtub, faucets or tiles to remove dirt and disinfect.
Floor cleaning: Dilute with water and use for mopping.
Odor neutralizer: The mixture leaves a mild orange scent and the vinegar smell disappears quickly.
Disinfectant: Thanks to the antibacterial properties of vinegar.
Additional Tips
Wear gloves when handling the mixture, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Do not use this solution on delicate surfaces such as marble or granite, as vinegar can damage them.
The remaining husks can be discarded or composted, as they have already released their benefits.
And that’s it! With this simple method you can give orange peels a new purpose and keep your home clean and scented in a natural way. Try it and be surprised by the results!
