GREEN TIP OF THE MONTH Make Your Own All-Purpose Cleaner
Here’s a quick three-step guide, courtesy of The Kitchn. Try it out when your current products are gone, and your family and the planet will thank you. 1. As you eat citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, add the peels to the Mason jar. When it’s at least halfway full, pour in enough white vinegar to cover all of the peels. Screw the lid onto the jar, then let it sit in a dark place for about two weeks to infuse. 2. After the liquid is infused, strain out the peels by pouring the mixture through the sieve, capturing the liquid in the bowl. 3. Pour the liquid into your empty spray bottle. You now have a safe, effective homemade cleaner that smells delicious!
How many cleaning products do you have under your sink? Odds are you have a bunch of different sprays to keep your home clean and tidy. These products are probably great at cleaning, but according to the Environmental Protection Agency, many of them aren’t good for your health. Touching and breathing them in can irritate your eyes, skin, and lungs, and they can also pollute the Earth and water when they go into a landfill or down the drain. So, what’s a health-conscious, eco- friendly woman to do? Well, you can make your own natural, all-purpose cleaner using just two simple ingredients: citrus peels and white vinegar. Apart from those two things, all you’ll need is a large Mason jar with a lid, a fine mesh sieve, a big bowl, and an empty spray bottle.
