I guess that would depend on the type of cloth you use and your indoor climate. I would think a more open-weave natural fiber would allow the peel to dry without molding, while a tight synthetic might hold in moisture. Also, our house tends to stay rather dry in the winter due to the heat being on, so I think that would help. If it concerns you, you could dry the peels before putting them in, or dry the whole sachet by hanging them over a heater vent , which would have the added benefit of spreading a nice scent over the whole house.

What a great winter twist on lavendar bags. But…. would the orange eventually go mouldy? I can imagine that would cause major angst…
