DIY Citrus Cleaner
by

Looking to avoid harsh chemicals when you clean? Not only is this DIY cleaner non-toxic, it's a great way to use those extra citrus peels! My favorite is lime, but any combination of lemon, orange, and even grapefruit will work.
2-3 cups citrus peel
Place all ingredients in jar.
I use this cleaner in the kitchen, bathroom and general cleaning. I often combine it with white vinegar to help give the white vinegar a nice citrus aroma.
Enjoyed the project?

Sonia Burrows on Apr 28, 2016@Jennie Lee If it forms alcohol it would be a greater concentration that what's in vinegar and that could etch some surfaces.

Jennie Lee on Apr 29, 2016I tend to doubt that her fermented fruit would produce more alcohol than is in white vinegar, which is made by fermenting distilled alcohol. If you're concerned about etching, you would want to check the acid content. White vinegar has 5% to 8% acetic acid. I'd have no idea how acidic her mixture is.
