This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a natural air freshener using citrus peels. It's an eco-friendly and budget-friendly way to keep your home smelling fresh.

Craft a Natural Air Freshener with Citrus Peels

Collect Citrus Peels

Gather peels from various citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits. Ensure the peels are clean and free from any pulp.

Dry the Peels

Place the citrus peels on a baking tray and allow them to air dry for several days. Alternatively, you can use an oven at a low temperature to speed up the drying process.

Combine with Spices

Once dried, mix the citrus peels with fragrant spices such as cinnamon sticks, cloves, or star anise. This combination helps enhance the scent of the air freshener.

Create Sachets

Place the citrus peel and spice mixture into small fabric sachets or breathable pouches. Secure the sachets with a string or ribbon.

Place Around Your Home

Distribute the sachets around your home in areas such as closets, drawers, or anywhere you wish to impart a pleasant scent.
