I recently juiced a whole lot of oranges and decided to finally try out making my own natural all purpose cleaner. Its easy enough, cover citrus peel in white vinegar for a few weeks and voila. Pro-tip, mark the date on your container (preferably glass) with a dry erase or china marker so you remember how much time has gone by. The virgo in me couldn’t help but create a calendar reminder as well.

I decanted the solution into a spray bottle I had on hand and then emptied the peels (using chopsticks due to the bottleneck in my carafe). The cleaner is great thus far! Now on to more DIY, zero waste projects.
