🍊 Orange Peel Vinegar (Citrus-Infused Cleaning Vinegar)
Orange peel vinegar is a simple, natural cleaner made by infusing citrus peels in white vinegar. It smells fresh and works great for everyday household cleaning.
🧴 What It’s Good For
- Degreasing kitchen surfaces
- Cleaning glass & mirrors (diluted)
- Removing soap scum
- Freshening garbage disposals
- Deodorizing drains
⚠️ Avoid using on natural stone (granite, marble) — vinegar is acidic and can damage it.
🏡 How to Make It
Ingredients
- Peels from 2–4 oranges
- White vinegar
- Glass jar with lid
Instructions
- Fill jar with orange peels (no pulp needed).
- Cover completely with white vinegar.
- Seal and store in a cool, dark place.
- Let infuse for 2–3 weeks.
- Strain out peels.
- Dilute 1:1 with water for general cleaning.
✨ Why It Works
- Vinegar (acetic acid) cuts grease and mineral buildup.
- Orange peels contain natural oils (like limonene) that help break down grime and improve scent.
🌿 Extra Boost Option
Add a sprig of rosemary or a cinnamon stick during infusion for a warmer scent.
If you’d like, I can also give you:
- A stronger degreaser version
- A mold & mildew spray variation
- Or a fermented (zero-waste) citrus enzyme cleaner version
