This gentle but effective vinegar is also fresh smelling and a wonderful homemade alternative to harsh chemical cleaners.
Fill a glass quart jar with the peelings (remove any of the white pulp) of any citrus fruit-grapefruit, orange, lemon, lime, etc. Cover the peelings with white vinegar, cover and allow it to sit for about 2 weeks. Occasionally shaking the jar. Remove the peels, and you can strain it as well. Use this vinegar in any of the following ways:
Pour into a small dish, and set in a room to absorb odors.
Make an all-purpose floor cleaner by mixing 1/2 cup to 1 gallon of water.
Glass Cleaner: Combine a quart of water with 1/2 cup of the vinegar and add it to a spray bottle. Use as you would glass cleaner.
Linoleum floor cleaner: Add 1 cup citrus vinegar with two gallons water of water and mop as usual.
To clean ovens: Spray or pour the vinegar on burned or soiled areas. Close the oven door and allow it to sit for 2 hours. Wipe clean with a sponge or rag that has been moistened with warm water. You may need to repeat

Yes, it is already becoming a family legend! The kids were delighted. No one was thrilled about me getting stung though. I slept until 4:30 this afternoon. So I did have a bit of a reaction to the sting. But I am fine now.
