Instructions

  • Use a spoon to remove all pit from your citrus peels. All of the fleshy white material should be removed.
    A spoon can be used to remove the pith from citrus peels. Gently scrape away the pith until only the peel remains.
  • Place your peels inside of a mason jar. Pour vinegar into the jar until the peels are completely covered.
    As you collect the peels place them in a mason jar.
  • Add herbs like lavender, rosemary or mint to enhance the citrus smell.
    Screw on the mason jar lid until finger tight and store in a cool dry place for 1 day to 3 weeks depending on personal preference of the strength of the citrus smell.
    My absolute favorite combination is lemon and lavender. It's seriously the nicest smelling vinegar cleaner EVER. It might be one of the nicest smelling cleaners ever, really.
  • Place a paper towel or coffee filter inside of a funnel placed into the neck of a chemical-resistant spray bottle. Pour the scented vinegar into the bottle and dispose of the filter and solid materials.
    Place a clean paper towel or coffee filter inside of a funnel. Put the funnel inside the neck of your spray bottle. Pour your citrus vinegar from the mason jar through the funnel. Once most of the vinegar has dripped through, squeeze the filter to get out all of the scented vinegar you can. Throw away the filter and any solid materials.
  • Print your labels on waterproof printable vinyl. Spray with a sealer like polyurethane, if desired. Cut the labels and place on your spray bottles.
    Labels can be printed on waterproof vinyl sticker paper for great looks and longevity. Simply print, cut out and apply to your DIY citrus vinegar cleaners. For an extra layer of protection, print your labels and allow them plenty of time to dry. Apply a light, even spray of sealer to ensure your labels look great for even longer.
