Easy
I love the smell of my store bough pink grapefruit all-purpose cleaner but I don't love not knowing what kind of chemicals are in it.
So, what's a girl to do? Well, DIY-it of course :)

Using a few simple ingredients, you can make your own, wonderfully-scented, grapefruit all-purpose cleaner.
Here's what I did.....
1. Cut two pink grapefruits in half. Juice them and save the juice for something else. Then separate the left over pulp from the peel (pretty easy to do with a paring knife).
2. Cut the peel into thin slices and put in a quart sized mason jar. Fill jar with white vinegar. Let this mixture steep for a week or more.
3. After it is done steeping, remove peels and compost them. Strain vinegar into a spray bottle.
4. Add 6-10 drops of grapefruit essential oil.
5. Mix one part citrus vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle.
