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.
Grapefruit Vinegar Cleaner:
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! Give this natural cleaning method a try.

I do this with all citrus peels (not necessarily at the same time). Absolutely love it. Great on glass with a microfiber towel (no paper towels in my house)
