Clean your heart out! I use vinegar for almost everything.
I would use it as a cleanser, especially if they were saved together. The orange peels cut the vinegar smell and the vinegar cuts through oil and soap scum very well.
Hi, Lisa! Orange peels and vinegar make a powerful house cleaner, that is safe for your home, family and the environment. I personally use it all the time, to clean the bathroom and the kitchen (even pots and pans). Check out how I make mine here https://theseamanmom.com/diy-citrus-vinegar-cleaner/

It's great for cleaning hard surfaces. I don't use it on rugs or fabric though because it may stain. I keep mine in a spray bottle. I remove the orange peels before I put the vinegar in the bottle.
it is meant for cleaning
I use the orange peels and vinegar after it has set for 5 days to clean my oven. I have a self cleaning oven, but sometimes I just spill a little on the door and do not want to heat the house turning on the self cleaning part. Anyway, after the liquid has set for 5 days or more, put it in a spray bottle. Put baking soda on the part to clean and spray it with the liquid. Let it set ten minutes or so and wipe. Reapply as needed. It takes a lot and lots of time to do the whole oven, but not if you keep the oven updated on being clean. This is perfect for regular maintenance or small spills. Hope this helps.
I use it full strength, but avoid using it on surfaces that can be damaged by acids like granite, new fibreglass and chrome. I also have the same concoction with a few big squirts of dishwashing liquid for more dirty surfaces. If I use lemon dw liquid it smells better.
