Wardrobes are often prone to mold due to lack of ventilation, so housewives can refer to how to use orange peels as a natural ingredient to make scented bags that are both safe and highly effective. This is a simple, cost-effective solution that does not take too much time for housewives to apply in their daily lives.
Orange peels are known to contain natural essential oils such as d-limonene that help deodorize and fight bacteria optimally. When dried, orange peels not only bring a mild fragrance but also help absorb moisture, preventing the growth of mold in the wardrobe.
To make scented bags from orange peels, housewives need to prepare some fresh orange peels, thin cloth bags (such as muslin or cotton fabric) and ropes. Then, cut the orange peel into small pieces and dry in the sun or dry until completely dry.
Next, put the dried orange peel in the cloth bag, tie the bag tightly. Place the scent bags in wardrobes or hang them in wardrobes to spread the fragrance. To effectively deodorize, housewives should pay attention to changing the scent bag every 4 - 6 weeks.
In addition, to increase efficiency, housewives can add some other ingredients such as cinnamon, cloves or dried flowers to the scent bag to create more diverse fragrance. In addition to the wardrobe, orange scented bags can also be placed in shoes, handbags or cars to deodorize.
