If you enjoy the fresh smell of commercial orange cleaners you will love this substitute citrus-scented vinegar spray that is simple to make and easy on the pocketbook. It costs less than a dollar, ingredients are easily available, and can also be used as a room deodorizer by setting out a small bowl of the citrus vinegar.
INGREDIENTS
Peel from 1 orange, grapefruit, lemon, or lime
3 cups white vinegar
1 clean quart jar with lid
1 clean 32 oz spray bottle
1. Combine the citrus peel and vinegar in the quart jar. Fasten the lid on the jar and store the mixture in your cabinet for approximately two weeks, shaking it occasionally.
2.Remove the citrus peel from the jar, strain the vinegar, and return it to the jar.
3.To use as a cleaner, pour 1 cup of the citrus vinegar in the spray bottle and fill with water.
4.To clean linoleum floors dilute 1 cup of the citrus vinegar with 2 gallons of water.
A simplistic yet effective natural cleaner that will leave your room smelling fresh while disinfecting!

Thank you! I love citrus, too, especially as the weather gets warmer! I’ve been thinking of scenting our vinegar spray…love it as a cleaner but can’t stand the smell! It doesn’t seem to disapate as quickly as I’d like.
