If you’re like me, your household probably generates a lot of citrus peels every week. Whether it’s oranges from your children’s snacks or lemons for cooking, those peels end up in the garbage without a second thought. But what if I told you that there’s a better use for those peels?
After some research online, I discovered a fantastic home hack that utilizes citrus peels and vinegar to create an incredibly powerful and inexpensive cleaning solution. And today, I want to share it with you!
So, here’s what you’ll need:
- Orange and lemon peels
- A bottle of vinegar
Follow these simple steps to create your citrus-based cleaning solution:
- Save your citrus peels until you have enough to half fill a moderately-sized container.
- Fill your container, whether it’s a bottle or jar, halfway with the peels.
- Pour vinegar into the container, ensuring that you completely cover the peels.
- Let the mixture sit for a week or two, allowing the peels and vinegar to infuse and release the natural oils from the peels.
- When you’re ready, use a strainer to remove the peels from the mixture.
And voila! You now have your very own citrus-based cleaning solution ready to tackle dirt and grime in various areas of your home. Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom, or even your windows and mirrors, this solution will leave everything sparkling clean. Plus, it smells fantastic!
Still skeptical? Go ahead and give it a try yourself. You’ll be amazed at the results!
