How to make your DIY Lemon Cleaner

Step 1:
First put the peels in a screw jar so that they fill the glass well.
Depending on the quantity of your citrus peels, you take a small or large jar for this purpose.

Step 2:
Now fill the glass with vinegar so that the peels are completely covered and no air remains in the glass.

Step 3:
Let the mixture stand for 1 to 2 weeks. Then you can carefully pour the liquid into a spray bottle and fill up with (distilled) water in 1:1 ratio.
The result is a powerful lemon cleaner, which you can use versatile in the kitchen and bathroom to clean shelves.

Basically, the amount of lemon peel is not quite relevant. The more peels you have, the more cleaner you can apply.
It is only important that you fill a suitable glass with trays so that it is well stocked and you can infuse it completely with vinegar.

You should be careful on particularly delicate surfaces such as marble, granite and wood surfaces. Here, the citrus – vinegar mixture might be too strong on the delicate materials.
