Homemade All Purpose Orange Cleaner
Description
The Homemade All Purpose Orange Cleaner uses a simple infusion of white vinegar and orange peels to craft a multi-use cleaning solution. The recipe calls for clean orange peels without any fruit flesh, which are placed in a mason jar and covered with vinegar, then stored in a cool, dark spot for two weeks. This timeframe allows the vinegar to extract natural citrus oils, creating a mildly fragrant and effective cleaner. After removing the peels, the liquid can be used concentrated or diluted with water depending on cleaning needs and surface sensitivity. Its versatility suits a range of household tasks where a citrus scent is desired.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups white vinegar
- 4 orange peel Clean off all fruit
- distilled water optional
Instructions
- Clean and dry a mason jar.
- Make sure that the peels have no traces of fruit left, add to mason jar.
- Add in white vinegar.
- Close the lid tightly and let it sit in a dark and cool place for 2 weeks.

- Use as needed as is or dilute with distilled water to clean your home surfaces.
Notes
- This concentrate can be used undiluted for tough cleaning or diluted with distilled water for lighter cleaning tasks.
- Ensure all fruit is completely removed from the peels before infusion to avoid fermentation or spoilage.
- Store the infusion jar in a dark, cool location to preserve its effectiveness during the two-week steep.
