Do you love the idea of a more natural cleaner for your home, but dislike the smell of plain white vinegar? I know I do, but I have to use it all the time. Between cleaning countertops, coops, and rabbit cages, I find myself going through a lot of lemon vinegar.<\/p>\n

Vinegar is almost the only cleaner you would ever really need, and it is very cheap compared to brand name cleaners from the store. Research has proven that vinegar does clean as well as many anti-bacterial cleaners, but clorox and lysol will still kill a few things that vinegar doesn’t. Overall, I think we really over use chemical cleaners, and should save them for specific uses. If you are cooking with raw chicken, eggs, or the flu is running through your household, I might still say use the stronger cleaner, but only in specific cases. I keep some lysol on hand for times like this.<\/a><\/p>\n

So, if you want to start using vinegar to clean with, but dislike the smell, here is a strategy to combat that. \u00a0I totally forgot an entire bag of lemons in the back of the refrigerator. They were extremely ripe, but instead of just tossing them, I decided to make more cleaner. It is so simple. All you need is a citrus, whether it is a lemon, lime, or orange, or just the peels, a bottle of white vinegar, and a glass jar. (You can also use herbs if you prefer; I have a rosemary one aging right now.)<\/p>\n
