Grapefruit Vinegar Cleaner

Check out this recipe for Grapefruit Vinegar Cleaner.  I love the effectiveness of cleaning with vinegar and that it is a natural cleaner. My husband is not a huge fan of the smell of vinegar.  I can spray areas and know that it is not harmful to my children. I clean the bathrooms, doorknobs and kitchen counters and I even mop with vinegar. There is always a bottle under my sink with vinegar in it.

When Stephanie posted the idea to steep orange peels in vinegar and make it smell better — I couldn’t resist trying it with grapefruit too.  After a week of steeping the peels in the vinegar, the grapefruit peels did work. It turned the vinegar into a sweet smelling cleaner.

I also love this Lemon Vinegar Cleaner and this Orange Vinegar Cleaner too!
