Craft Your Cleaner in 6 Simple Steps
Creating your own supply is incredibly straightforward. All you need is a jar, some peels, and a little patience.
-
Collect: Save your peels from oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. Give them a quick rinse to remove any residue.
-
Pack: Place the peels into a clean glass jar, filling it about three-quarters full.
-
Submerge: Pour plain white vinegar over the peels until they are completely covered.
-
Infuse: Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for about two weeks. This waiting period allows the citrus oils to infuse into the vinegar.
-
Strain: After two weeks, strain the liquid through a sieve or cheesecloth into another container, discarding the used peels.
-
Dispense: Transfer your finished citrus vinegar into a reusable spray bottle. It’s ready to use!
