Make Your Own Grapefruit-Scented Cleaner

Filed under: Cleaning/Decorating — Savvy Housekeeper at 7:28 am on Friday, April 6, 2012

Here’s a great tip from Frugal By Choice to make your own grapefruit-scented cleaner.

All you do is put the skins of a grapefruit (or any other citrus fruit) in a jar of vinegar and let steep for a month. At the end of that time, you strain out the peels and use the nice-smelling vinegar in your homemade cleaner.

I am going to try this!

ETA: I tried this with lemons and didn’t like it. It left a yellow lemony film on everything–not very clean looking!

This is a great idea! It reminded me of the grapefruit scouring scrub Crunchy Betty put up a few weeks ago: http://www.crunchybetty.com/the-great-grapefruit-scouring-scrub
