Wash and peel your oranges, placing the peels in a mason jar. Fill the jar with enough peels to reach the neck.
Pour white vinegar into your jar covering the orange peels but not filling it to the brim. The liquid should stop at the neck of the jar.
Place parchment paper or cheesecloth over the top and screw the lid on tight. (Note: parchment paper is the better of these two options.) If you have a plastic lid, there is no need for a layer in between.
Leave your jar to soak in a dark place such as in the cabinet underneath the kitchen sink where cleaning products are typically stored. Let it sit for 2-4 weeks so the oranges fully infuse into the vinegar, shaking occasionally. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
Strain the newly created orange-infused vinegar into a new jar with a metal strainer or cheesecloth. Toss or compost the used orange peels.
Fill a clean amber glass spray bottle halfway with the orange-infused vinegar and half with water for a 1:1 ratio. OR if you would like a more diluted option, fill the jar ¼ of the way full with your orange-infused vinegar and fill the remaining ¾ of your jar with water.
Spray onto a surface and wipe with a cloth to clean!
Notes
Is it safe to clean my whole house with vinegar?
If you’re unsure how this will impact a surface (ex. granite, marble, hardwood, etc) sample a small amount in an inconspicuous spot before any widespread use. You should be fine so don’t worry, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
