Homemade Citrus Cleaner

Seems like I was always forgetting to pick up some essential oils when I was at the health food store, so I was really glad to see this recipe on Facebook recently.  Plus the orange oil was free, something I was going to toss in the trash!  (I don't compost during the winter.)


In a quart jar pour some white vinegar over the orange peels of about three oranges.  Let stand for two weeks.  In two weeks, add equal parts water in a spray bottle.  Use to clean all surfaces.  It's antibacterial, too!  I can't wait to give it a try.  I'll let you know how it goes.
