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.

  1. Collect: Save your peels from oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. Give them a quick rinse to remove any residue.

  2. Pack: Place the peels into a clean glass jar, filling it about three-quarters full.

  3. Submerge: Pour plain white vinegar over the peels until they are completely covered.

  4. 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.

  5. Strain: After two weeks, strain the liquid through a sieve or cheesecloth into another container, discarding the used peels.

  6. Dispense: Transfer your finished citrus vinegar into a reusable spray bottle. It’s ready to use!
