Make Your Own Cleaning Spray
My mum is absolutely thrilled with her homemade cleaning spray. She says, “It’s all-natural, smells lovely, and is much cheaper.” What I love about this cleaner is that you use citrus peels that would otherwise go to waste. It’s completely natural and leaves your home smelling fresh. Give it a try yourself!
What You’ll Need
- Citrus peels of your choice
- White vinegar
- A glass jar
- A sieve
- A spray bottle
How to Make It
- Fill a glass jar with white vinegar and add orange, lime, and lemon peels. Let the mixture sit for a few weeks so the peels can infuse the liquid. You can place something heavy on top to keep them submerged.
- After a few weeks, strain the liquid through a sieve (and a cloth if needed) to remove any small bits.
- Pour the liquid into a spray bottle. Since it’s a strong concentrate, dilute it with a bit of water before use.
It’s really easy to make and doesn’t take much time. My mum’s house always smells wonderfully fresh thanks to this homemade cleaner. That’s why I also make my own from time to time—it reminds me of home.
