Making a Citrus Vinegar

It's the tail end of citrus season, make use of those peels and save yourself a few bucks on cleaning products!

Make an easy citrus vinegar!


Citrus Vinegar

Grab these...
•Quart jar
•Citrus peels - orange, mandarin, grapefruit, lemon
•White distilled vinegar

Cram peels in a jar and top off with the vinegar. 

Steep at least two weeks, two months is more recommended, but no more than three months. Strain concentrate into a clean jar.

For cleaning, dilute 1:1 with water and use on vinegar-safe surfaces (not granite, etc.). 

For carpets, spray and blot (do a test patch first). 

Use 1/2-1 C concentrate to 1 gallon of water for floors.


Citrus contains d-limonene, which is a natural solvent, making it great for cleaning.
