White vinegar is an amazingly
effective, eco-friendly, inexpensive cleaning agent to use around the house.
But as much as we love it, vinegar on its own can smell pretty horrible! Here
is a SUPER easy way to make a homemade, sweet smelling citrus-vinegar concoction
for cleaning:
What You'll Need:
1. White distilled vinegar
2. A clean glass jar (with a tight
fitting lid)
3. Citrus peels (oranges, lemons,
limes, grapefruit, etc.)
Directions:
• Take a glass jar with a lid and fill with citrus peels (one
fruit or a mix, depending on what you prefer).
• Pour in white distilled vinegar until the peels are
completely covered.
• Cover the jar tightly and let sit for 1-2 weeks, gently
shaking the jar occasionally to keep things mixed.
• We recommend labeling the jar with a permanent marker and
storing it out of reach from kids just as a precaution (although it is
completely nontoxic and healthy to ingest, we still don't recommend drinking it
like orange juice!).
• When the mixture smells more like fruit than vinegar you’re
good to go! Strain out the vinegar into another jar and substitute it in all of
your white vinegar cleaning methods.
•This sweet mixture is also great for cooking with vinegar or
using as a deep cleansing hair rinse if you want a sweet, fruity twist!
