Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?

How long do the peels last on windowsills?
Fresh peels usually stay effective for 2–3 days before drying out.
Can I freeze citrus peels?
Yes. Many people freeze them in a small bag and thaw them later for tea, cleaning, or home fragrance.
Are citrus peels safe to use around pets?
Generally yes, but avoid placing large amounts within reach of curious pets that may try to eat them.
