Don't throw away tangerine peels: they can be used to make a universal cleaning agent for almost any surface

When peeling tangerines, many experienced housewives save the peel rather than throw it in the trash.

The fact is that the peel of citrus fruits easily turns into an excellent means for removing dirt.

However, it is unlikely that you will be able to prepare a universal cleaner quickly.

Several weeks must pass from the moment of the first processing of tangerine peels until the final preparation of the product.

But such a long period of waiting is worth it: it turns out to be a truly excellent “replacement” for household chemicals.

How to prepare the remedy

The collected tangerine peels should be poured into a glass jar. The remains of the citrus fruits should be located in the glass container quite tightly, so the peel should be pressed down a little.

The resulting mass should be filled with nine percent vinegar. This should be done so that the liquid completely covers the fruit remains.

Next, screw the lid on. You need to make sure that the jar is closed tightly.

Now the container should be left in a cool place, away from sunlight. The tangerine peels should be infused for three weeks.

The finished product must be passed through a filter surface and poured into a container with a spray bottle.

Now the liquid can be sprayed on many dirty areas. After that, you need to "go over" the surfaces with a cloth: the stains will disappear.

However, it is worth considering that after using vinegar, the room where the cleaning was carried out needs to be ventilated.
