Turn your citrus peels into a fragrant and eco-friendly homemade cleaner

Step-by-step instructions – Ready in 6 simple steps:

1. Take a clean glass jar (like an empty jam jar).

2. Fill it about ¾ full with well-washed citrus peels.

3. Completely cover the peels with white vinegar.

4. Let the mixture sit in a dark place for 2 weeks. (Patience is key!)

5. Strain the mixture using a fine sieve or cheesecloth.

6. Pour it into a reusable spray bottle.

And that’s it! Your eco-friendly cleaner is ready to tackle grime and odors.

Why does it work so well?

During maceration, the essential oils in the peels are slowly released. These oils have natural antibacterial properties and also soften the vinegar’s acidity.
The result? A cleaner that deep-cleans, shines surfaces, and leaves behind a delicious citrus scent throughout your home.

Perfect for countertops, faucets, windows, and even your refrigerator.
100% natural, and safe for kids and pets.
