Orange peels (enough to fill a jar)

Coarse salt (about 1–2 tablespoons)

White vinegar

Instructions:

Fill a jar with fresh orange peels.

Sprinkle in the salt and let it sit for 15–20 minutes.

The salt will help release the oils from the peels.

Add white vinegar to cover the peels and seal the jar.

Let the mixture steep for 2–3 weeks in a cool, dark place.

Strain the liquid into a spray bottle and dilute with water (1:1 ratio).

Use it to clean countertops, sinks, and more!

2. Natural Sink or Garbage Disposal Freshener

 

Ingredients:

Orange peels

A handful of coarse salt

Instructions:

Toss a few orange peels into your sink or garbage disposal.

Add a handful of salt on top and scrub or run the disposal.

Enjoy the fresh, citrusy scent while saying goodbye to grime and odors!

Whiten your teeth at home with this trick

 

Baking soda, tomato, toothpaste, and lemon are the ingredients for cleaning our teeth at home.

 

Baking soda is considered a mild abrasive that breaks down the plaque and tartar that can build up on our tooth enamel.

 

Because this product usually dissolves in water, it can reach all areas of the teeth.

 

Therefore, although it is a cosmetic solution, we should keep the following recommendations in mind.

 

Ingredients

– Baking soda,

– toothpaste

– tomato

– lemon.

METHOD

Baking soda and lemon can be beneficial if we are looking for a purely cosmetic solution, so if we decide to resort to this home remedy, we should never overuse the mixture.

In the case of lemon, it is acidic in nature, so it can break down food residue that can get stuck in our teeth.

 

On the other hand, it is worth highlighting the beneficial properties of tomatoes for teeth, as they strengthen teeth and keep them healthy.

The way to use this mixture for your teeth is to mix a little baking soda, a little lemon and tomato juice to create a smooth paste, and a little toothpaste.

To apply this paste, use a soft toothbrush.

After brushing for 1 minute, leave the mixture on for 2 minutes and then rinse.
