Don’t Throw Away Tangerine Peels — Here’s Why You Should Keep Them on Your Windowsills

How to Use Tangerine Peels on Your Windowsills

Freshen the Air
Place freshly peeled tangerine skins along your windowsills or near sunny spots. As the peels dry, the sunlight helps release more aroma, gently scenting the entire room. Replace them every few days for a consistent burst of freshness.

Repel Pests Naturally
Tuck pieces of dried or fresh peel near window frames and corners. For added effect, dab a few drops of tangerine or orange essential oil on the peels — it’s a natural deterrent for ants and small insects.

Create Simple Rustic Décor
Dry the peels by baking them on low heat (around 170°F or 75°C) for one to two hours, or air-dry them in sunlight. Once dry, tie them together with a bit of twine for hanging ornaments, or arrange them in small bowls as natural potpourri.

Make Scented Sachets
Fill small cloth bags with dried tangerine peels, rosemary, and lavender. Set them on windowsills or in drawers for a pleasant fragrance that lasts weeks.

Craft Your Own Potpourri
Mix tangerine peels with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and dried flowers or pinecones. Display in a shallow bowl to create a seasonal accent that looks as good as it smells.
