Place the peels in a small pot
Add orange peels, cinnamon sticks, and cloves into the pot.
Add water
Pour enough water to just cover the ingredients.
Simmer on low heat
Let the mixture simmer gently. The steam will carry the citrusy scent throughout your home — including the bathroom.
Top up as needed
Add more water as it evaporates. You can reuse the mixture for 2–3 days.
Method 2: Bathroom Air Freshener Jar
Dry the orange peels
Leave the peels out for a day or dry them slightly in the oven (at low temp) so they don’t mold.
Add ingredients to a jar or bowl
Combine the peels with cinnamon sticks and cloves.
Place in your bathroom
Set the bowl on a shelf or windowsill. For a stronger scent, crush the peels slightly to release more oils.
Optional: Refresh with essential oils
Add a few drops of orange or clove essential oil to boost the fragrance over time.
✅ Tips & Tricks
Add a touch of vanilla extract for a sweet twist.
Replace peels every few days for freshness.
Use lemon or grapefruit peels for variety.
