Make Your Own Natural Cleaners: Citrus All Purpose Cleaner
Getting ready to tackle your spring cleaning to-do list? Don’t spend the weekend surrounded by cleaners filled with chemicals and ingredients you can’t even pronounce. Make your own cleaning supplies instead! They are healthier and often cheaper solutions to the chemicals you’d buy in the store.
All-Purpose Citrus Cleaner
Citrus peels (mostly lemon)
1–2 cups white vinegar
15–20 drops of essential oils
All-purpose cleaners come in handy quite often. To create your own, fill a jar of your choice with citrus peels (using mostly lemon), and then top off with white vinegar. Seal tightly with a lid, and allow to sit for a week. Next, strain the solution into a spray bottle—which you can find at your local craft or hardware store. Add your favorite essential oils and then use wherever you’d use a traditional multipurpose spray.
