These are the items I use the most when cleaning. I am trying to get away from using paper towels but one step at a time. Baking soda is good for things that need some scour power and I use the vinegar solution for pretty much everything else.
First I soak lemon peels in vinegar for 2 weeks. I consider the lemon peels to cost nothing because I would buy lemons anyway and this is a good use for them and I dont have to waste them by just throwing them away.
After 2 weeks open the jar and if it smells like lemon instead of vinegar then you know that the cleaner is ready. Strain the liquid off of the lemons into another container.
Then pour into a spray bottle. I like to use a heavy duty one because the sides do not cave in. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant so I use this on many, many things. Recently I have started spraying my cutting boards when I use them and just sitting them on the table to dry overnight to disinfect them after use. I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a wonderful and blessed day! It is rainy today so I am finding things to do in the house. Tomorrow's post will be on my dandelion jelly. Looking forward to that one!
I'd love to try this. I made cleaner with orange peels, but my it kinda smells weird (like rotting oranges?) Does the lemon have an "off" smell"?
