Let's just jump right in, why don't we? If you're looking for my dirt cheap Hydrogen Peroxide cleaner click here. Oranges that are past their "fresh eating" but good for juice, are great for this, because the peels have thinned. The thinner peels "orange" the vinegar faster, I think, due to being less "pithy". 100% Natural Homemade Glass Cleaner 2/3 Cup of 5% Distilled White Vinegar 1/2 Orange Peel, pith removed 1/2 Cup Water Clean spray bottle Soak 1/2 orange peel in 3/4 Cup Vinegar. I use a measuring cup for soaking, the measure's right there and it's easier to pour in the spray bottle later. Cover it with a sandwich baggie. Vinegar, phew! (Cost of baggie is 1 cent). Leave it to sit overnight. The purpose of the orange is to cut back the vinegar smell. If you're trying to actually scent it orange, you'll need to soak it longer than overnight. Remove peel from vinegar. Pour the "oranged" vinegar and 1/2 cup water into the spray bottle. Cap with sprayer and shake to mix. Look how orange the vinegar turned! It also cleans great, and smells about 50/50 orange and vinegar, so the vinegar isn't overpowering!
You can clean the usual, Windows--Glass--Mirrors with it, EXCEPT..... Vinegar DON'Ts: NO mixing with bleach (Same as regular window cleaner, you'll get toxic fumes!) NO cleaning tech device screens, cell phones, tablets, touch screens. You'll ruin the protective coating on the screens! Tile Cleaning/Grout cleaning is questionable, some say it works on grout, other say it corrodes/erodes grout. There are other vinegar don'ts, but I limited it to what you'd likely use a glass cleaner for. Vinegar is hard on several metals, but I don't know anyone who uses glass cleaner on metal items. I wonder about some plastics as well. Anyone know additional, safe uses for our natural cleaner? Leave me a comment; let me know! I'm in no mood to clean after this...I quit! Lol. Where's the candied orange peels and iced tea I made with the other 1/2 of that orange?
