I’ve been using vinegar as an all-purpose cleaner for many years now because it’s safe, healthy and frugal, but the smell really bothers my husband. I think a lot of people shy away from using vinegar as a cleaner because they just can’t stand the smell. Well, today I’m excited to share an alternative that works great and smells way better. It’s 100% natural and easy to make. I used orange peels, but you could substitute any other citrus such as grapefruit, lemon, lime. etc. Citrus is in season right now so it’s the perfect time to stock up and recycle all those peels!
Great idea! I clean with vinegar quite a bit and usually add lemon or orange essential oil to help offset the smell. I'm definitely going to try this too!
I am starting to use all natural household cleaners and really appreciate this tip for a DIY all-natural cleaner that smells nice too! So nice to know what's in the items that you use to keep your house clean!

I love this cleaner! I make it a gallon at the time since we go through vinegar like water at my house.
My favorite use is to take a 1/2 cup or so of baking soda and use the vinegar to make a stiff paste and use that on dirty sinks, etc. Works great!
Think I'm gonna experiment in using the finished vinegar to splash into my laundry instead of just the plain distilled. Visiting you from A Noble Calling's blog.
