This great tip comes from "The American Home" - go check out her blog for lots of great old-fashioned tips, tricks and recipes!


SIMPLE CITRUS CLEANER made from Vinegar & Orange Peelings


Add the clean and washed peelings from 4 oranges to one gallon of white or apple vinegar. Allow the vinegar to sit for 6 weeks. Then strain through a cloth and pour into spray bottles to use for cleaning all through the house. Mopping floors, cleaning woodwork, and cleaning counter tops are just a few of the uses we have found for this homemade cleaner. This cleaner is quite strong for example to mop floors use a 1/2 cup of cleaner with one gallon of warm water! The smell is wonderful and for a few coins you have created enough cleaner to last quite sometime.

  1. \\well dude the nature of add chemicals and food have never agreed to the stomach in any form have it be by feed application, breathing steam clouds or even applying to the skin, and the FDA warns of multiply sclerosis when the body comes in contact with combination of genetic, environmental and infectious factors like the dirt intended to be cleaned the Borax(a chemical agent in the detergent) which occurs naturally in evaporite deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes that make up the environmental factor and the actual consumer using this combination makes up the genetic factor and that makes for a occurring contraction of ms (multiply sclerosis), because the borax contains boric acid that acts as a stomach poison affecting the insects' metabolism, and the dry powder is abrasive to the insects' exoskeleton. so you can basically say your making an breathing human metabolism insecticide which could cause ms so this is not a good combination of factors to be used in the home or upon on the skin because your basically adding chemicals to the food. is your receipt edible? probably no, but the lemons are, and you say it smells good by by the time your senses catch up with the lemons they (the lemons) are chemically charged and inappropriate for human consumption. because food and chemicals do not mix!
