How to perfume the bathroom with the orange peel trick?

By Lesia

You’re right! Using orange peels to freshen up the bathroom is a simple and natural way to combat odors. Here’s how to make the most of this delightful trick:

1. Simple Simmer:

  • Gather your materials:
    • Orange peels (from 1-2 oranges)
    • Small saucepan
    • Water
  • Simmer gently:
    • Place the orange peels in the saucepan with a cup or two of water.
    • Bring to a simmer over low heat.
    • Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or longer for a stronger aroma.
  • Enjoy the fragrance:
    • Allow the pot to cool slightly before moving it to a safe location.
    • The fragrant steam will naturally fill your bathroom with a delightful citrusy scent.

Tips & Variations:

  • Add spices: Enhance the aroma by adding a few cloves, cinnamon sticks, or a piece of fresh ginger to the simmering pot.
  • DIY Potpourri: Dry the orange peels in a dehydrator or in a warm, dry place. Once dry, you can use them as a natural potpourri in small bowls around the bathroom.
  • Combine with vinegar: Place orange peels in a jar with white vinegar. Let it sit for a few days, then strain and use the infused vinegar as a natural all-purpose cleaner.

Enjoy the fresh and inviting scent of your naturally perfumed bathroom!

This simple method is a great way to utilize kitchen scraps and create a pleasant atmosphere in your home.
