Ingredients
- Peels from 2–3 lemons
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- Optional: a few drops of essential oil (lavender, lemon, or tea tree)
Instructions
- Place your lemon peels in a clean mason jar or glass container.
- Pour white vinegar over the peels until they’re completely covered.
- Seal the jar and let it sit for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place. Shake it every few days.
- Strain out the peels and pour the infused vinegar into a spray bottle.
- Mix in the water and any essential oils you’d like.
- Label the bottle and use it on counters, stovetops, glass, sinks, and even bathroom surfaces.
Notes & Tips
- Don’t use on granite or marble — vinegar can dull the finish.
- Keep a jar of peels going at all times so you never run out!
- For extra cleaning power, add a tablespoon of baking soda to the mix (slowly — it’ll fizz!).
