Trying to waste less can be confusing, and knowing where to start can feel like your at the base of Mount Everest. But have no fear, for I will show you an easy place to start and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen!
We will be making some all-purpose cleaner from just TWO ingredients! Citrus peels and vinegar. That is it! Wait, really? Yes! All you need to do is eat some oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, any citrus fruit, save the peels, shove ’em in a jar, and cover with vinegar.
The tricky part is letting this concoction sit for 3-4 weeks as it combines to make a grease fighting kick-ass cleaner. Once it is done steeping, strain the peels and particles out into some sort of vessel, spray bottle, old dish soap bottle, old shampoo/conditioner bottle, anything of the sort, then spray and wipe your house into lemon-scented heaven.
