Get rid of musty bathroom and shoe cabinet odors with the peels of 'this fruit' commonly eaten these days

As winter arrives, tangerine peels are piling up in every home. It feels like a waste to just throw them away. If you use tangerine peels wisely, your home can become much more pleasant.

 

Spreading tangerine peels throughout the house to dry can make a dry room slightly more humid. Tangerine peels are ideal for drying indoors because they are high in moisture and have a pleasant scent. Even if you place already dried peels in various spots around the house and frequently sprinkle them with clean water, the humidity in the air increases and a refreshing fragrance fills the air.

 

It is also good for removing food odors from kitchen utensils.

 

If you put tangerine peels and water in a pot in a 3:1 ratio and boil for about 2 minutes, unpleasant odors such as fishy smells remaining in the pot are effectively removed. It can also be used to wash frying pans used for grilling fish. It is also effective for deodorizing microwaves that have absorbed various food odors. If you place the peels of one to two tangerines into the microwave and heat them for 20 to 30 seconds, unpleasant odors will disappear. Additionally, if you microwave tangerine peels for about 30 seconds, wrap them in a cloth, and place them in the bathroom or shoe cabinet, odors will be eliminated.

It also helps remove stubborn stains.

 

If you wipe a glass cup with the white inner part of an orange peel, stubborn stains disappear. This is thanks to the acidic substances it contains. Even stubborn stains are effectively removed by putting tangerine peels and water in a pot and boiling them. It is also a good idea to put the boiled tangerine peel water in a spray bottle and spray it to clean grease stains throughout the kitchen.

 

Meanwhile, if you want to use tangerine peels but are concerned about pesticides, you can simply wash the surface thoroughly before eating. The "soaking method" is sufficient. This involves soaking fruits and vegetables in water for one minute, washing them while stirring with your hands, and then rinsing them again under running water for about 30 seconds. Doing so extends the contact time with water, removing most residual pesticides. In fact, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety stated, "Soil and residual pesticides can be effectively removed from agricultural products simply by soaking them in clean water for a certain period and then washing them under running water."
