Natural household cleaner, how to prepare it
What do you need?
- 3 oranges (degreasers);
- 1 lemon (antibacterial and against unpleasant odors);
- white wine vinegar (excellent detergent, disinfectant and descaler);
- 1 jar;
- 1 spray bottle.
Squeeze the oranges and lemon and prepare a good juice. Save the peels.
You will notice that the citrus residue remains inside. Here is the base for your household cleaner!
Take a jar and cut all the peels into small pieces . Place them in the jar, pressing if necessary, and pour the vinegar over them, as much as you need to cover the shells, to the edge of the jar.
Close the bottle and store away from light sources for 2 weeks . This time is used to thoroughly macerate the citrus peels, which will release the useful elements to create the detergent.
After 2 weeks, strain everything and discard the peels. Fill the spray bottle with the liquid made from vinegar and citrus extracts and use it on all surfaces you want to clean, including steel parts.
The result will surprise you and will also leave you with a pleasant aroma!
Of course, you can use all citrus fruits. Not only lemon and orange, but also, for example, tangerines and grapefruits.
Happy cleaning!
