Orange peel contains many useful substances, such as vitamins A, C, E, potassium, phosphorus, etc.

For this reason, the zest removed from citrus fruits can be used in cooking. But you can also find more original uses for the peels.

For example, the peel left over from eating oranges can be used to remove odors from a wooden cutting board.

Simply sprinkle a small amount of salt on the orange peel and rub it onto the board.

All that remains is to wash off the remains of the homemade cleaning agent with water and wipe the board dry – a pleasant smell is guaranteed.

And if you put the crusts in a jar, pour vinegar over them and leave them for a week, you will get an effective surface polish.

Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray it on your stove, plumbing, sink or bathtub – this product will not only make the surfaces shine, but will also be able to deal with white plaque.

Finally, you can use orange peels to get rid of stains inside your coffee pot - fill it with peels, add water and a couple of tablespoons of salt.

Leave the dishes like this for a while, then drain the liquid and rinse in clean water.
