How to Make Pomegranate Peel Soaked in Vinegar

Cut the pomegranate peel into small pieces and place them in a bowl or container with a lid. Pour in enough white vinegar to fully cover the peel, then close the lid tightly. The acidic nature of vinegar helps effectively extract the active compounds in the peel.

Keep the container in a cool, airy place for three days.
After this time, the beneficial substances in the peel will be dissolved into the vinegar. You can then open the lid and start using it.

Uses of Pomegranate Peel Soaked in Vinegar

1. Cleaning Stubborn Stains

When the floor, stove, or other surfaces have stains that water alone cannot remove, you can use the vinegar-soaked pomegranate solution to clean them.

Simply filter the vinegar, spray it directly on the stains, and leave it for a few minutes. The vinegar softens the dirt, making it easy to wipe away with a cloth.

2. Fertilizer for Plants

Pomegranate peel soaked in vinegar can be used as fertilizer for indoor plants. However, never pour vinegar directly onto the soil, as it can burn the roots. Before use, dilute the vinegar with water at a ratio of at least 1:200.

Pomegranate peel contains nutrients that promote plant growth. White vinegar also improves soil pH, enhances aeration, and makes the soil looser. This helps roots grow stronger and faster.

Additionally, vinegar can kill harmful insects, fungi, and powdery mildew on plants.

Alternatively, you can dry the peel, grind it into powder, and mix it into the soil.

Other Uses of Pomegranate Peel

Deodorizing the Refrigerator
