How to prepare powerful degreaser

Orange peels contain essential oils that are known for their degreasing and aromatic properties. When combined with salt, baking soda, and white vinegar, you’ll get a powerful cleaner that dissolves grease and leaves a fresh, citrus scent. The detergent helps boost the mixture, making it even more effective against built-up dirt.

Necessary Ingredients

  • Peels of 3 oranges
  • 1 liter of water
  • 2 tablespoons of salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 150 ml white vinegar
  • 500 ml of detergent (any)
  • Spray to pour out the remaining liquid

Preparation Instructions

  1. Boil the peels : Place the orange peels in a pot with 1 liter of water and add the 2 tablespoons of salt. Let the mixture boil over medium heat until the water changes color, which will take about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Add the baking soda : Add the tablespoon of baking soda to the pot and stir well. This will help enhance the degreasing effect of the cleaner.
  3. Strain the mixture : Once the water has changed color and the orange peels have released their essential oils, strain the mixture to separate the liquid from the peels.
  4. Add the vinegar : Pour 150 ml of white vinegar into the strained liquid. Vinegar acts as a natural cleaning agent that helps break down grease and disinfect.
  5. Mix the detergent : Finally, add 500 ml of detergent to the solution. Stir well so that all the ingredients are integrated evenly.
  6. Fill the spray : Transfer the resulting mixture to a spray bottle. This will make it easier to use and will allow you to apply it directly to the surfaces you want to clean.

Using the Cleaner

  • Kitchen Surfaces : Spray the cleaner on stoves, range hoods, tiles and any other surface where grease is a problem. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rub with a cloth or sponge.
  • Appliances : Use it to clean accumulated grease in the microwave, oven and refrigerator.
  • Bathrooms : This cleaner is also effective for degreasing and cleaning bathroom surfaces, such as sinks and showers.
