Making homemade cleaners is not as hard as it sounds. You can make this Homemade All-Purpose Lemon Cleaner in just a couple easy steps and you might even get a pitcher of Fresh Squeezed Lemonade while you’re at it.
I am very happy to add this fresh smelling, grease cutting all purpose cleaner to my arsenal of homemade cleaners. If you’re like me, then keeping a clean and home is important to you but harsh chemicals…not so much.
Lemons are acidic. The acid serves as an antibacterial and antiseptic, much like bleach but a lot better smelling. That’s what I call a win-win!
The next time you head to the market grab some lemons. For reference, I filled an empty Ragu pasta jar with the rinds 6–7 medium lemons, which yielded a small 16oz spray bottle. You will be using the rinds mixed with white vinegar for your homemade cleaner.
After putting your new cleaner in a spray bottle I must warn you, you’re gonna want to clean everything! Not only does it smell amazing but it will leave your surfaces squeaky clean.
Recipe
Homemade All-Purpose Lemon Cleaner
A fresh smelling, powerful homemade cleaner
- 6 Medium Lemon Rinds
- Vinegar
Stuff a 16oz jar with lemon rinds
Fill the jar with white vinegar
Allow the vinegar and lemons to sit for 2–3 weeks to infuse
Strain the rinds from the vinegar and store in a spray bottle
This can be diluted with more vinegar to make more cleaner, although I recommend if you want more cleaner to simply infuse in a larger jar. The more lemon the better the scent!
