Orange Vinegar

I stumbled upon this homemade cleaner recipe tonight and I must say, I am quite excited to try this one out! You know about my weird love for cleaning with vinegar. Well I have found a great mate for my stinky cleaning solution: oranges!! The recipes calls for:

3/4 gallon white vinegar
Peels from 3 large oranges

Slice the orange peels to fit inside the gallon jug opening, pop the lid on and shake well. The vinegar will need to sit for 1-2 weeks or until the orange peels have made the vinegar pleasant smelling. Be sure to shake the jug really well at least once a day during this time. The mixture can be used for cleaning counter tops, sinks, bathrooms, windows, you name it. Best of all it is safe, non-toxic to the environment and humans, easy to produce and cheap! I plan to make some tomorrow once I buy my oranges. I am also going to make two small spray bottles using lemon and lime peels. I love the cleaning power of vinegar and I love the small of citrus so this is a win-win situation for me!!!

Happy cleaning!
