Stop throwing them away! Here are 2 easy and cheap ideas to give them new life

What You Need:

• Citrus peels (orange, lemon, grapefruit, etc.)
• White vinegar
• A clean jar with lid
• Spray bottle (optional)

How to Make:

1. Fill a jar with citrus peels (you can mix different kinds).
2. Pour white vinegar over the peels until completely covered.
3. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 1–2 weeks.
4. After it’s infused, strain the liquid into a clean spray bottle.
5. Use it as a natural cleaner for kitchen counters, sinks, stovetops, and more.

Why It Works: Citrus oil naturally cuts grease and leaves a fresh scent, while vinegar disinfects and removes buildup.
