We’re talking about vinegar . In fact, by recovering a jar we can break the orange peels and pour enough vinegar inside it to ensure that the peels are completely covered in the liquid.

Once the vinegar has been inserted, close the jar tightly and leave it to rest for about 15 days so that the orange peels macerate and the citrus substances are released so that all the essential oils come out.

Once this time has passed, filter the solution by removing the pieces of orange peel and pour the liquid into a spray bottle and use it on surfaces with stubborn dirt.

We will see that, thanks to the action of the vinegar and the properties of the orange, many of these surfaces, including steel, will be completely clean and a very fragrant odor will be released into the air.

This is because, with maceration , the peels released all the essential oils which acted with the vinegar and formed a natural detergent which has degreasing and disinfectant properties.

This method can be used not only with oranges, but with all other types of citrus fruits, as they have similar characteristics and therefore lemons or mandarins are also recommended.

Obviously, this depends on our taste but from now on, since the season allows it, when we eat an orange, we can opt to experiment with this solution which will almost certainly surprise us.

In this way, we will not only have a natural detergent that is beneficial for our surfaces but we will also have saved some money in our wallet by avoiding purchasing commercial products for cleaning the house.
