Vinegar Orange Peel Cleaner: Green Cleaner

Green Cleaner!

I noticed several Orange Peel Cleaner displays on Pinterest, and wanted to try it myself. I had pickle jars saved for future sprouting projects but decided to use them for my orange cleaner project.

• I collected various orange peels for my pickle jars.
• Added white distilled vinegar and capped my jars.
• Labeled the completion dates 10-14 days out.
• Strained and contained!
• Voila! You have your cleaner! 

Orange pickling...I say!

Label the dates

Final Product...it doesn't hurt to dilute this with water!

Review:

I attempted to clean my stove top with the undiluted version of my orange peel cleaner.  The first thing I noticed was the smell. Yes, I forgot to dilute this cleaner.  I added more sweet orange essential oil, which barely masked the smell.   I tried it again on my counter tops.  Overall, it's another vinegar cleaner with a slightly better smell and more slippery texture.

Results:  

It works.  Please dilute this cleaner with a 2:1 ratio of cleaner to water.  I'll use it until it's gone, and try it again!
