Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner Ingredients:



Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner Ingredients:
Recycled Glass containers
Orange peels (Or any other citrus fruit peels. This makes it smell great plus it adds cleaning power.)
1-2 TBS Salt (any kind)
Vinegar
Water
Essential oil (optional)

Step One: Cut orange peels and fill any empty glass containers you have on hand. If you don't have glass containers you can fill any containers that you have.


Step Two: Add some salt to the orange peels and let them sit for 20-30 minutes (or longer). This will pull the oils from the peels and ultimately make your cleaning solution stronger. You only need enough salt to lightly cover the peels.


Step Three: Fill the containers with vinegar and water. Next time I am going to do 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water because my solution smelled a tad bit too much like vinegar.


Step Four: Let the solution sit and be pretty for 2-3 weeks. The longer it sits the better. They make a great conversation starter too!


Step Five: Strain the solution and fill a squirt bottle with your natural
Orange cleaner
