DIY All Purpose Natural Cleaner A Must Have At Home

Okay, so in my search for a better and more natural way to clean my home. I came across with white vinegar for an all purpose cleaner.

I know my first thought was, but vinegar is "stinky." You can dilute it with water and use it like that. After it drys the smell goes away.

I really like this method but I have recently discover that you can infuse all kinds of herbs to make your vinegar solution smell nicer.

The method that I am trying right now is with lemon peels. But, you can pretty much add anything you want. Its all up to your creativity from lemons peels to oranges , thyme, lavender etc.

Supplies:

1. Lemon peels

2. White Vinegar

3. Jar with lid

4. Spry Bottle

Instructions:

1. Peel the lemons: Use a peeler or knife to cut the peel from the lemons and scrape off as much of the inside white part as possible. Place the lemon peels into a jar.

2. Add the vinegar and steep for up to 2 weeks: Fill the jar with distilled white vinegar and replace the lid. Give the jar a good shake to move the vinegar around and coat the infusion ingredients. Here is where you need to be patient: Find a sunny spot and let the vinegar infuse for about 10 to 14 days.

3. Strain the vinegar: After the infusion period is over, strain out the solids from the vinegar and discard them.

4. Transfer vinegar to spray bottle. Pour the infused vinegar into a spray bottle. Dilute with water if wished.

vinegar cleaner

I love this natural cleaner I use it for almost everything. Even thou vinegar is a great way to clean your home without any harmful chemicals there are certain things that you can not clean with vinegar.

Here is a list:

1. Granite and marble counter-tops

"The acid in vinegar can etch natural stone," says Carolyn Forte, director of the Home Appliances and Cleaning Products lab at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. Use a mild liquid dish detergent and warm water instead.

2. Stone floor tiles

Just like counter-tops, the natural stone in your bathroom doesn't take kindly to acidic cleaners, like vinegar and lemon. Avoid ammonia, too, and stick to cleaning with special stone soap, or dish detergent and water.

3. An egg stain or spill

If you drop an egg on the floor (or find that your house or car has been the victim of some rambunctious teens), don't reach for the vinegar to help clean up. Just like when you poach an egg, the acidity can cause it to coagulate, making the egg more difficult to remove.

4. Your iron

"Vinegar can damage the internal parts of an iron," says Forte. "So don't pour it through to freshen and clean it out. To keep irons from clogging, empty them completely after use, and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions."

5. Hardwood floors

The jury's still out on this one: Some homeowners find that vinegar solutions cleans their sealed hardwoods beautifully, but others report that it damages the finish. My advice? Use a cleaner specifically formulated for hardwood. But if you want to try vinegar, always dilute with water and test it on an inconspicuous spot before you tackle an entire room.

6. Certain stubborn stains

Blot, sponge, and try as you might, grass stains, ink, ice cream, and blood won't come out with vinegar alone, says Forte. They tend to set into the fabric quickly or just don't respond to acid, so treat them with a pre-wash stain remover like Shout Advanced Gel, and launder with a detergent with enzymes (check the package — most stain-fighting detergents have them).

So try this all natural method and tell me how it worked for you. Don't forget to Like & Share and TAG someone that might find this useful.
