Don't Throw Away Orange Peels! Make This Old Italian Grease Cleaner for $0

Get my complete printable home-cleaning guide: https://olditalianway.com/ That brown film on the pan under your burners isn't coming off because an acid was never going to take it off. The orange peel can, and not in the way you were told. The jar everybody recommends, orange peels steeped in white vinegar for two weeks, is a good cleaner aimed at the wrong dirt. The grease-cutting compound in orange peel is limonene, just over 85% of the peel oil, and it will barely dissolve in water: about 13.8 mg per liter. White distilled vinegar sold in the US is 4 to 7% acetic acid and the rest is water, so the oil never really gets into the jar. The scent does. This video covers the two kinds of kitchen dirt and the opposite cleaners they need, where the oil in an orange actually lives, why researchers found citrus terpenes as effective as a petroleum solvent at dissolving oils, the number that explains the whole jar, the three steps that do remove baked stove grease for nothing, the job the vinegar jar was always right for, and the four places where neither one belongs.
