Introduction
Lemon peels are often overlooked as kitchen waste, but their hidden benefits are remarkable. Placing lemon peels on your windowsill isn’t just an eco-friendly practice; it can also solve common household problems such as unpleasant odors, insect issues, and more. In this article, we’ll explore how to use lemon peels creatively, saving money while embracing a greener lifestyle.
Ingredients
Fresh lemon peels (as many as needed)
Optional: Herbs like rosemary or mint for added fragrance
Directions
Prepare the Peels: After juicing or using lemons, rinse the peels to remove any residue. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Place on the Windowsill: Lay the peels on a plate or directly on the windowsill where sunlight hits.
Monitor the Peels: Replace them every 3–4 days or once they’ve dried completely to maintain effectiveness.
Optional Add-ons: For an enhanced aroma, sprinkle a few drops of essential oils or add sprigs of fresh herbs alongside the peels.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Not for consumption, but for household use! Use lemon peels to freshen up spaces naturally.
Storage: Store fresh peels in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you don’t plan to use them immediately. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
