Deodorize Your Refrigerator
If you don't have baking soda you can pack an orange half (fruit removed) with salt and place in a small bowl to keep your fridge to keep it fresh and smelling clean and citrusy.
Orange Peel Kindling
Due to the high content of flammable oil in orange peel, dried peel makes a great fire starter or kindling.
Face and Body Exfoliator
Dry orange peels in the sun or in the oven. Process then in the food processor or coffee grinder and mix with chickpea flour for a natural exfoliating cleanser that can be used on face and body.
Mosquito Repellent
Rub fresh orange peels over your exposed skin to keep mosquitoes away. It’s said that mosquitoes and gnats are totally repulsed by orange scent.
Scrubber For Cast Iron Pans
Half an orange with some coffee grounds poured into it makes a great scrubber for a cast iron pan! The peel helps to protect your hand from the coffee grounds (which are an excellent abrasive), as well as adding citrus cleaning power. Then just toss it in the compost.
