Before you toss those citrus peels, STOP! You’re sitting on a natural, powerful, and chemical-free cleaning solution that costs almost nothing and works wonders. By simply mixing lemon and orange peels with vinegar, you can create an all-purpose cleaner that’s strong, fresh-smelling, and eco-friendly.
Why This Combo Works:
- Lemon & Orange Peels: Packed with natural oils (like limonene) that cut through grease, kill bacteria, and leave a fresh scent.
- Vinegar: A natural disinfectant that removes grime, kills germs, and dissolves mineral deposits.
Together, they make a cleaning powerhouse — safer than store-bought cleaners, yet just as effective!
How to Make Citrus Vinegar Cleaner:
Ingredients:
- Peels from 2-3 lemons and/or oranges
- White vinegar
- A glass jar with a lid

Instructions:
- Fill the Jar:
Place the citrus peels into a clean glass jar. - Add Vinegar:
Pour enough vinegar over the peels to fully cover them. - Infuse:

Dilute with a bit of water if desired, especially for lighter cleaning tasks.
