Vitamin C is essential for the health of our immune system and you should try to get enough of it, especially in winter.
Citrus fruits are the ideal and most practical solution. Freshly squeezed orange juice, for example, is very popular, especially because it provides children with the valuable vitamins it contains.
They are also widely used in cooking, but there are many citrus fruits. Not only to eat them, but also as an ingredient in many recipes. Lemon is used a lot.
And the shells? They are usually thrown away. And that is a mistake.
The cleaner we are about to show you is made from citrus peels .
Natural household cleaner how to make it
What do you need?
- 3 oranges (degreaser);
- 1 lemon (antibacterial and against unpleasant odors);
- White wine vinegar (excellent cleaning agent, disinfectant and limescale remover);
- 1 Voice;
- 1 spray bottle.
Squeeze the oranges and lemon to make a nice juice. Keep the peels.
You will notice citrus residue left in them. Here is the basis for your household cleaner!
Take a jar and cut all the shells into small pieces . Place them in the jar, squeezing them if necessary, and pour the vinegar over them, as much as you need to cover the shells up to the rim of the jar itself.
Close the jar and keep it away from light sources for 2 weeks . This time will be used to macerate the citrus peels well, releasing the elements useful for making the detergent.
After 2 weeks, filter everything and discard the peels. Fill the spray bottle with the liquid made from vinegar and citrus extracts and use it on all the surfaces you want to clean, including steel parts.
The result will amaze you and also leave a pleasant scent!
Of course, you can use any citrus fruit. Not just lemons and oranges, but also tangerines and grapefruits, for example.
Have fun cleaning!
