• Combine Peels & Vinegar. Place the orange peels (or other citrus) into your jar. Add rosemary or cloves for extra scent. Cover completely with vinegar.
• Infuse for 1–2 Weeks. Seal the jar and store in a cool, dark place. Let the natural oils from the citrus infuse into the vinegar.
• Strain. After 1–2 weeks (or longer if you forget!), strain the liquid to remove peels and any debris.
• Optional Essential Oils. Add 5–10 drops of your favorite essential oil (e.g., lemon, clove, cinnamon). Shake gently to mix.
• Dilute. Use roughly a 1-1 ratio of water to your vinegar infusion. Transfer the vinegar solution into clean spray bottle halfway, then top off with water.
• Store. Store any extra infused vinegar in a cool, dark space. To maintain potency and avoid mold, do not dilute before long-term storage.

How to Use Your DIY All-Purpose Cleaner

• Spray directly onto most non-porous surfaces (countertops, stainless steel, bathroom tiles, etc.). Avoid using on natural stone (granite, marble) or unfinished wood—vinegar can etch or damage these surfaces.
• Wipe clean with a cotton cloth or reusable rag. I usually avoid microfiber as it can leach microplastics into your laundry and wastewater. If you love your microfiber, consider a special laundry filter (like a Guppyfriend bag or microfiber filter) to catch those microplastics.
