DIY citrus cleaner. I just made this a few days ago, so I haven't had a chance to use it, as it's not ready yet. All you need is a jar, some white vinegar and citrus peels. Put both in the jar, close, and let stand for 2 weeks. When it's ready, dilute with water 1:1, and use on floors, tiles, fixtures, kitchen & bath etc. Citrus peels have a natural oil in them, so this could be amazing on wood. It’s
antibacterial, smells great, is tough on scum, and there are no
chemicals. I'm looking forward to trying this out.
I'm a foolish optimist and a hopeless daydreamer. I imagine a cozy little home with a porch, a tire swing, cherries, apples, apricots, plums, currants, berries, rhubarb, a veg patch, chickens, ducks, a cow, a goat, definitely a pet pig. This blog is about real food, which I enjoy making and growing. Sometimes I follow recipes, sometimes I use them as guidelines, and sometimes I like to read recipe books, because they're like collections of short stories, always with a happy ending. Enjoy!
I should post an update on this. I like this home made cleaner, I used it to wipe my sink after prepping and doing dishes in it. It cleans well, and leaves a lovely orangey scent.
