Lemon Vinegar Cleaner

Check out this recipe for Lemon 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 so when Stephanie posted the idea to steep orange peels in vinegar to make it smell better — I couldn’t resist trying it too.  After trying the Grapefruit Vinegar Cleaner I thought why not try lemon.

It is our personal favorite.  I can spray areas and know that it is not harmful to my children. I clean the bathrooms, doorknobs and kitchen counters. There is always a bottle under my sink with vinegar in it.  After two weeks of steeping the peels in the vinegar, the lemon peels did work. It turned the vinegar into a sweet smelling cleaner.
