Why Orange Peels Are So Valuable
Orange peels contain limonene, a natural compound with antibacterial, antifungal, and degreasing properties. That’s why they are not only fragrant but also powerful at cutting through grease, neutralizing odors, and fighting germs. Combined with vinegar—well-known for its disinfecting power—you get a natural cleaning agent that rivals chemical products.
