Autumn is the season when a large number of pomelos are on the market, and they are a must-see fruit in autumn because they are sweet and nutritious. Usually after we eat grapefruit, there will be a lot of grapefruit peel left, for this grapefruit peel, I believe that many friends are just to throw it away. But you know what? The seemingly useless grapefruit peel can be used in life, and it can also play a lot of wonderful purposes and help us solve a lot of troubles. Today, I will introduce you to a few wonderful uses of grapefruit peel, let's take a look!
Trick 1: Remove odors.
The refrigerator at home is prone to peculiar smell due to the large and miscellaneous food placed in it, and once the refrigerator produces peculiar smell, it will cause contamination to the food inside. In fact, if you want to get rid of the odor in the refrigerator, grapefruit peel can play an important role. We only need to put the peeled grapefruit peel directly in the corner of the refrigerator, and the smell in the refrigerator will disappear after about 2~3 days. This is because the pore structure of grapefruit peel is special, its pore structure is similar to activated carbon, and it is able to adsorb surrounding odor molecules. Grapefruit peel also contains natural plant essential oils, which can react with odor molecules in the air to further neutralize or mask undesirable odors. Therefore, it is equivalent to a natural deodorant, which can effectively remove odors from the refrigerator.
In fact, in addition to the refrigerator, like the room at home, the bathroom and other places, we can also put some grapefruit peel, its adsorption effect, you can absorb some bad odors in the air, and the fragrance of grapefruit peel can also make the home air more fresh.
Trick 2: Make it into a sachet.
Since the grapefruit peel has good adsorption and its own fragrance, we can also make the grapefruit peel into a sachet and put it in the wardrobe, drawer or shoe cabinet at home, it can effectively absorb the musty smell in the cabinet and make the air in the cabinet fresh. The method of making it is also very simple, we first prepare a little grapefruit peel, and then use scissors to cut the grapefruit peel into small pieces. Then take a disposable mask, cut one end of the mask, put in the grapefruit peel that has just been cut into small pieces, and tie the mask tightly with a string, so that such a sachet is made.
We just need to hang it directly in the wardrobe, or some other cabinet. It effectively purifies the air in the cabinet. However, it should be noted that after putting it for a period of time, we remember to take it out and replace it, because after a long time, the adsorption effect will be reduced, and the fragrance will become lighter, and it will not work.
Tip 3: Clean oil stains.
Usually peeling grapefruit we will find that when squeezing the grapefruit peel, a lot of juice will burst out, this is the essential oil component of grapefruit, it has a good degreasing effect, and we can also make grapefruit peel into degreasing detergent. Prepare an appropriate amount of yuzu peels, cut them into thin strips, and put them in a clean jar.
Then put eight points of water into the jar, do not fill the water too full, because to ferment, the water is too full, and the gas produced during the fermentation process is easy to expand, causing the water to overflow. Next, we also need to add a large spoonful of edible alkali to the grapefruit peel, which also has a good cleaning effect due to its super alkalinity. Finally, we close the lid of the jar and shake it to make the edible alkali fully dissolved in the water, and then put the jar directly in the refrigerator to ferment for a week.
The fermentation time is about the same, the yuzu water has turned yellow, our dish soap is ready, and we can use it to clean the dishes. Pour a little yuzu water into the dirty dish and wipe it with a rag.
After wiping it, we will find that the grease in the dishes is easily removed, and the effect is very good. This dish soap made from yuzu peel is very easy to use, and it is natural and environmentally friendly, so it won't hurt your hands and you don't have to worry about residues.
