SCENTED VINEGAR FOR CLEANING
An easy and inexpensive way to freshen the smell of vinegar is by infusing it with citrus peels. I love using oranges but you can use any citrus fruit from lemon and grapefruit to tangerines and limes.
Fill your glass container with orange peels (Any citrus peels will work).
Pour white vinegar to cover the peels. (Make the infusion process faster by heating the vinegar.)
Close container tightly and place in dark place for several week. (I put mine under the kitchen sink for 2-4 weeks.) The orange peels will infuse the vinegar with natural scent and color.
Remove from cupboard, strain out the peels, and use for cleaning.
Notes - so what i did was place a jar of vinegar next to my fruit bowl on the table, and my kids can have an orange and just put the peel in the jar without leaving the table to head to the trash can, just tell anyone who eats the oranges to add it to the jar and not the trash or compost, my kids like it this way they are lazy no trip to the trash and everything is getting used and i have a household cleaner with no chemicals.
CLEANING WITH ORANGE VINEGAR
Sink Disposal Cleaning Grind the vinegar soaked peels in the garbage disposal to clean and freshen it. Use a boiling water rinse for a clean, deodorized disposal.
Multi-Purpose Cleaner Mix 1/4 1/2 cup vinegar with 4 cups water and use to clean counter tops, floors or windows.I also use this mixture to fill my quick mop for weekly floor cleaning. I use it on tile and linoleum floors
Bathroom Cleaner Use full strength to help remove hard water stains when cleaning the bathroom. Dilute to scrub sinks and showers.
CITRUS INFUSED VINEGAR
Try infusing several jars of vinegar with different citrus peels. You can also combine peels for a new scent combination.
