Apart from eating, oranges can be useful in many ways. Here are few uses for oranges:
Fly repellent
Keeping a grated orange in your kitchen helps you in repelling flies.
Substitute to soap
The crushed fruit makes lather in water which can be used for washing clothes and shampooing hair.
Cleans surfaces of marble
Cut an orange into two halves. Dip a half lightly into a dish of salt. Scrub the surface of the marble with the salted orange. Rinse the marble thoroughly with water and dry.
Freshens garbage disposal
Just cut a few oranges into halves and run those through the disposal and it will smell great.
Deodorize rooms and closets
Poke whole clove pieces onto the surface of a whole orange and place the orange in a netted bag. Hang it from a hook in your closet or room to fill it with pleasant smell.
As a hairspray
Make an orange into pieces and keep it in two cups of water. Boil it until the mixture is reduced to half. Allow it to cool and then use as a hair spray using a sprayer.
Shines furniture and glass
Cut an orange into half and sprinkle a little salt on it. Then rub the furniture and glass with that orange. Next wipe it wet cloth and allow it to dry.
Removes oil stains on walls and sauce pans
Rub with a cut-open orange on greasy walls and sauce pans.
