Let’s see together how to prepare and use this orange all-purpose cleaner.
Save the Shells
Store orange peels in a plastic bottle or jar in the refrigerator. You may need the peels of 4 to 6 medium oranges to fill the bottle or glass.
Add baking soda and water.
After storage, wash them with water and salt to remove germs, pesticide residue and parasites. Once the peels are disinfected, cut the orange peel into strips or to taste. Return it to the well-cleaned bottle until it is half full. Add a teaspoon of baking soda and water, making sure that not everything is overcrowded. In fact, the solution must have room to ferment.
Leave the peels on for a week.
The longer you let the orange peels steep, the better the cleaning solution smells. Just wait at least a week before using the orange peel cleaner. Every day you have to open the lid to release the gases.
Filter the solution and use a detergent to clean it.
After this time, you can filter the liquid into a spray bottle or multi-purpose container. Once the peels are filtered, you will have a citrus detergent that you can use to wash the dishes and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom, and even clean the floor thanks to citric acid and baking soda. For best results, store the bottle in a cool, dry place, such as the pantry when not in use.
