Citrus fruits of all kinds are beneficial to health. The peels of these fruits are very useful and literally full of beneficial substances and essential oils.

Citrus peels

Of course don’t use the peels for consumption, because they are soaked with chemicals and pesticides, but there is one way to put them to great use.

Instructions for an all-purpose cleaner

It’s enough to simply pour oil over them and let them steep for 10-14 days in the fridge. Then strain it and the all-purpose cleaner is ready.

Brilliant all-purpose cleaner

For the bathroom, kitchen, for cleaning tiles or windows – besides spotless cleanliness it will also guarantee you a lovely citrus fragrance.

Against dust settling and instead of air fresheners

Spray and wipe with a dry cloth. Dust will settle much less on surfaces and everything will smell of citrus. In addition, it’s also an excellent limescale remover in the bathroom. However, rather don’t use vinegar on natural stone, marble and real wood!

In the washing machine

If you wash dark laundry, or want to clean the washing machine and get rid of odors – simply add it to the wash instead of fabric softener.

Hygienic cleanliness and a lovely scent are taken care of. However, do not add it to white laundry – the liquid has a darker color.

Spiders and mice don’t stand a chance

Pour vinegar into a spray bottle and spray around windows, behind the kitchen unit or anywhere you have problems with spiders, mice, or other pests.

Besides the scent in your apartment, you instantly have a perfect natural pest repellent.
