16 Frugal DIY Citrus Cleaners
Citrus cleaners are great for cleaning dirt and grease off of floors. They are even amazing at cleaning all the grime and crumbs off your countertops. If you are looking to make your own DIY citrus cleaner, you may need the following supplies:
- Dark Glass Spray Bottle (acidic substances like citrus can degrade plastic over time, and some citrus essential oils are sensitive to light)
- Distilled White Vinegar
- Lemons/Lemon Peels
- Oranges/Orange Peels
- Citrus Essential Oils (therapeutic grade is best)
- Baking Soda
Also, a word of warning for those with porous stone countertops or floors (like granite or marble). Citrus cleaners tend to be acidic, and acidic substances can etch into porous stone. So don’t use your DIY citrus cleaners on those surfaces in your home. This is the same reason why you shouldn’t use vinegar to clean some surfaces.
