History:
The use of natural ingredients for cleaning has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. People used items like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice for their cleaning properties. The modern trend of all-natural cleaning solutions gained popularity in response to concerns about the environmental and health impacts of chemical cleaners.

Components:

🍋 White vinegar: Acts as a disinfectant and cuts through grease.
🍊 Citrus peels (e.g., lemon or orange): Add a pleasant scent and boost cleaning power.
💧 Water: Dilutes the solution.
🌿 Essential oils (e.g., lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus): Provide a pleasant fragrance and add antibacterial properties.
🧊 A spray bottle: To store and apply the cleaning solution.

Steps to Prepare:

🍋 Collect citrus peels (lemon or orange) and place them in a clean glass container.
🥄 Cover the peels with white vinegar and seal the container.
🌿 Allow the mixture to sit for about 1-2 weeks. This allows the citrus oils to infuse into the vinegar.
🧴 Strain the vinegar into a spray bottle, removing the citrus peels.
💧 Add an equal amount of water to the spray bottle (1:1 ratio of vinegar to water).
🌿 Add a few drops of your preferred essential oil for fragrance and added cleaning power.
🔄 Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Time Needed:

Preparation: 1-2 weeks for the citrus-infused vinegar.
Actual mixing: Less than 5 minutes.

This all-natural all-purpose cleaning spray is a sustainable and effective way to clean your home, and it’s free from harsh chemicals, making it safe for your family and the environment. Enjoy your clean, fresh-smelling space! 🌿🏡🍋🌍🌼
