Use Orange Oil to Clean Appliances and Get Rid of Fleas

Boil orange peels in water for about 45 minutes and let it stand for a couple of days before straining the liquid and storing it in a container. Spray this citrus water to clean the cooking range, stove tops and microwave ovens. You can also rub an orange peel directly on a stain of your oven or stove top. This will not only clean the appliances, but will also leave a mild fragrance.

Peel an orange and cut it into small pieces. Boil the pieces in water for 15-20 minutes, let them cool, pour the boiled water on your pet and massage gently. Repeating the process every 2 weeks to eliminate fleas from your pet.
