VARIOUS USES OF ORANGE PEELS

1) Removes tough microwave stains- place a few orange peels in a microwave safe bowl and cover with water. Put the microwave on high for 5 minutes. The steam from the water will loosen build-up, while the orange peels' citric acid works to kill bacteria. Then just wipe away with a damp cloth.

2) Repels mosquitoes- For a natural mosquito repellent, rub fresh orange peels all over your skin. The citrus smell will keep mosquitoes at bay. Or, grate some orange peel or zest around the patio or anywhere where insects and mosquitoes may be a problem.


3) Shine wood- Bring the shine out in wooden furniture , utensils and more with orange peels. Simply rub the white pith of an orange peel on the wood vigorously and watch the shine come through.


4) Uplift your mood- use orange peels to relieve anxiety and depression. simply add a couple of orange peels to a warm bath or rub a drop or two of orange essential oil over your temples and forehead area.


5) Keep brown sugar from hardening- place a slice of orange peel in the container where you store brown sugar. The rind will release a volatile oil slowly and this will help keep the sugar moist. To keep your sugar fresh, change the orange peel once a month.


6) Start a fire- have trouble starting a fire? Use an orange peel to speed up the process. Simply add some dried orange peels to the kindling under the larger wood.


7) Stinky shoes- add a couple of orange peels to a sachet and place it in your shoes. The peel will naturally absorb the odours.


8) Make your own air-freshener- boil a couple of orange peels in hot water and add a cinnamon stick or mint to the mix. Store in an air freshener bottle and use when needed.


The orange peel can be used to make chutneys, zest in cookies, cakes, peel dried and powdered can be used for face mask ! Any more ideas of orange peel?
