Nice idea, nice editing ♥
I love these cleaners…. they must smell wonderful! Does the cleaners go bad?
Maybe nice to mention that vinegar is a disinfectant, citrus is great to clean up fatty and oily dirt, and smells great too!
Is the vinegar and water mixture strong enough to kill bacteria on the counters? Which strain of bacteria can it kill?
Once you make the water/vinegar solution how long can you keep it before it goes bad?
Can’t wait to try this! Thank you for the inspiration!
This is brilliant! I’ve been eating oranges several times a day, so now I know what to do with all the peels 🙂
While I was skeptical at first, after some brief research I found that vinegar is actually a pretty effective disinfectant, though it does not kill staphylococcus bacteria. I also happen to know that lavender has disinfectant properties (and smells great), so this – surprisingly – sounds like a good idea!
Wow ! Sounds great ! I will try it . Thank you !
Thank you… ant wait to make these cleaners! Thank you again for sharing and answering my question. Have a great day….
