Thursday, March 21 - Grapefruit Mint Vinegar Cleaner

I've switched to household cleaners and now orange vinegar cleaners in my kitchen.  My first bottle just ran out and I was so excited to use another scent recipe for vinegar cleaners!  4 Vinegar Cleaner Recipes has some great ideas on how to minimize the 'vinegar' scent in vinegar cleaners.  I made "Grapefruit Mint" and it is a much more mild 'vinegar' scent.

Whenever my family eats citrus, I put the rind in a mason jar with a plastic screw on lid.  When the jar is full, fill with white vinegar and let it sit for at least 2 weeks, I may or may not add spices to add scent.  I pour it into an old 409 bottle and if there's still room after the vinegar (just the vinegar, no rinds) I fill with water to top it off.  I use it quite liberally around my kitchen and the bottle lasts 2-3 months.  Each bottle costs roughly $0.10, and I'm looking to switch vinegar cleaners for other household cleaners, like this and my Homemade Shower and Tub Spray.

Vinegar cleaners don't have to be so icky smelling!
