Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner

Removing chemicals from the home is a step towards health and wellness. The accumulated exposure to chemicals has unknown effects on an individual and the effect will be unique to everyone.  Unless a chemical is used by the body to undergo a physiological process ie production of energy and hormones and tissues or repair from food, then the chemical must be broken down and excreted, this falls under the job list of the liver.

By removing exposure to everyday chemicals is a great first step in removing the chemicals in the environment. The citrus all purpose cleaner is exactly that, and all you need is…

• 2 cups citrus peel strips (lemon, lime, orange)

• 3 cups vinegar (apple cider, distilled white)

Instructions

• Place citrus peels in 1 liter jar and cover with vinegar.

• Cap with a tight fitting lid or cloth secured with rubber band, if using metal lid you need to place baking or waxed paper under the lids to avoid corrosion.

• Infuse the mix by placing the jar in a sunny spot for 2 weeks.

• Strain the peels and then pou vinegar infusion into a clean jar with airtight lid.

• Create your spray mix with 50% vinegar and 50% water.

Note: Vinegar is acidic so it can damage some surfaces - natural stones like granite, marble or soapstone, or strip the finishes off hardwood floors.
