How Do I Make Lemon Cleaner
After making Fresh Squeezed Lemonade, I was left with a pile of lemons. Not wanting to let all of that lemon goodness go to waste I decided to make a citrus scented vinegar cleaning solution.
It’s as simple as soaking lemon peels in vinegar. You end up with a bright and vibrant scented cleaner.
Homemade Cleaning Solution With Vinegar
- Peel the lemons, try to remove just the yellow peel. Too much white pith can cause stickiness. 5-8 lemons should be enough.
- Transfer lemon peels into glass jar.
- Pour white vinegar into the jar, seal jar. Set jar aside for 2-3 weeks.
- Strain the lemon peels out of the vinegar.
- Dilute the lemon vinegar with water, I prefer a 50/50 mixture.
- Pour the combination into a spray bottle for cleaning.
