Tried this the other day and it did wonders!

Instructions:

1. Place the citrus peels in the glass jar.
2. Pour in the vinegar until the peels are fully submerged.
3. Seal the jar and let it sit for 1–2 weeks in a cool, dark place.
4. Strain the liquid into a spray bottle and dilute with equal parts water.
5. Use it as a cleaner for countertops, sinks, stovetops, and more.

What Happened:
Tried it on a greasy stovetop and a dull kitchen sink — and the results were unbelievable. The surfaces were sparkling, the grease came off easily, and there was no harsh chemical smell. Just fresh, citrusy goodness.

Why It Works

• Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and grease cutter.
• Citrus peels add antimicrobial properties and a pleasant fragrance.
• Rosemary or essential oils boost both cleaning power and scent.

It’s eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and incredibly effective — especially if you’re looking to cut back on chemical cleaners in your home.

Bonus: It’s Great for More Than Just the Kitchen

Use it on:

• Bathroom surfaces
• Glass and mirrors
• Floors (diluted)
• As a deodorizer for trash cans or pet areas
