DIY Citrus Peel Multi-Purpose Cleaner 自製多用途清潔劑

If you are a citrus lover, this trick will allow you to use the fruit to their fullest! 🍊

1)Collect a jar of citrus peel, any will do - mandarins, lemon, grapefruit etc, and fill up a jar with white vinegar, make sure the peels are covered. (Try to avoid metal lids, but reuse plastic or stainless steel lids.) Soak the peels for at least a week. If you are collecting the peels slowly, keep them refrigerated or frozen.

 

2)Once soaking is done, filter out the peels with a strainer or sieve - note that the liquid will be a little thick like honey. Don’t throw the peels away, you can compost them, or place them in your plant pots.

 

3)Dilute 1:1 with water for multipurpose cleaner, and transfer to a spray bottle. Use is as you would with any other multi-purpose cleaner. 💦

 

4)Spray on stove top and kitchen wall to get rid of grease, wipe down any surfaces at home to disinfect, even mop the floor with it!

 

The essential oils and acids from the citrus peels don’t just smell good, but are also filled with antiseptic and antibacterial properties, the best natural cleaner you can have, zero-waste & home-made!

如果你喜歡柑橘類,以下的方法能夠讓你用盡整個水果,零浪費 🍊

 

1)先收集一瓶子柑橘皮,任何種類都可以(柑橘、檸檬、柚子等),然後把瓶子滿白醋,記住醋要蓋過柑橘皮。蓋避免挑選金屬的,建議重用塑膠或不銹鋼蓋。浸泡至少一星期。假如收集柑橘皮需時,可以先冷藏或雪藏部分收集好的
