Natural Super All Purpose Cleaning Vinegar Recipe

Get some citrus peels, whether it’s lemon, orange or lime, and use the remains of those fruits by placing the peels in a Mason jar. Next, pour vinegar, white or apple, over all the citrus peels and make sure they’re filled with it. Stick the lid on it, place in a darkened area that is cool, and shake it up every few days. Let the citrus oils steep itself within the vinegar, from as little as two months to as many as six months. The longer, the better; the vinegar smell will go away, but the citrus scent will stay.

Drain the citrus vinegar into an open glass container. Mix the citrus vinegar with either two cups of water or one cup of water with one cup of vinegar in a recycled spray bottle. Glass is preferable as plastic can break down over time, meaning possible leaks. But, just like that, the homemade natural vinegar cleaner is ready to use and it is as effective as store-bought vinegar.
