DIY Orange Peel Cleaner
Are y’all making citrus infused vinegar yet? This mixture is low effort and low waste for a sparklin’ home. I love cleaning with vinegar as it’s less harsh than most industrial cleaners and does a thorough job on those grimy areas (looking at you toilet bowl.) You can save your excess citrus peel – that orange is scent is divine – and make a batch every few weeks or so. A much better smell than straight vinegar, trust me. If you’ve got more than a few peels on hand try dehydrating them to use later on. The dried peels keep well until you’re ready to infuse.
To make your own infused vinegar all you have to do is: - tear or cut citrus peels into small pieces and place in glass jar - cover with white vinegar (make sure your pieces are fully submerged or fermentation will occur) - let sit in a cool, dark place for 3 - 4 weeks (a cupboard works well) - strain peels when you’re ready to get cleaning! (compost the excess please) Simple as that. You get to extend the life of your produce and make the cleaning process a little more enjoyable :D PSA - just remember to avoid cleaning granite with vinegar! it’ll work most everywhere else though.
Have you made your own citrus cleaner?? #closedloopcooking
