For years I have cleaned with my trusty vinegar-water mix. I love it more than store bought cleaners any day. I didn’t think I would ever find something better. I did though. This DIY Citrus Peel Cleaner can be made with orange, lemon or even grapefruit peels!

Best of all this DIY Citrus Peel Cleaner is super easy to make. The whole family loves it, because it cuts down on our cleaning time. Using up the citrus peels is a great way to reuse items around the homestead. These usually go right into the compost, but now I save them to make a super powerful cleaner.

Citrus cleaners work great in the kitchen and bathroom. I love that it removes the stink from my boy’s bathroom! Another great reason to love this cleaner is that it doesn’t take very long to remove the stuck on bits.

Vinegar is great at cleaning but just vinegar and water, needs to sit on grease, food, pee etc…for 5-10 minutes before wiping it off. This DIY Citrus Peel Cleaner only need a few minutes or less. That’s right it saves me time when cleaning. What’s not to love about that?
