Making orange peel cleaner with alcohol

💡 Why Use Alcohol and Orange Peels?

  • Alcohol (over 60%) kills bacteria and viruses by denaturing them.

  • Limonene in orange peels boosts degreasing power and leaves a fresh scent.

  • The result: a fast-drying, streak-free cleaner that evaporates without residue.

Perfect for cleaning:

  • Glass & mirrors

  • Stainless steel appliances

  • Kitchen counters

  • Doorknobs and high-touch surfaces
