A lady after my own heart, I love to hate cleaning and like to find ways of making it more interesting. I love the idea of popping some herbs in the mix too. TFS

Great idea. For a more disinfectanting spray , why not add a little alcohol ? I use 1/3 vinegar 1/2 cup Of rubbing alcohol and water to wash my floors. It works beautiful. Why not?

Me too! I went to the store one day and they were completely wiped out. Luckily my mother in law was able to find some for me. It makes a great fabric softener and I love to use it as a rinse aid in the dishwasher. I think it works better than any other traditional product on the market plus it’s much more cost efficient.

You reminded me I have 2 quarts of orange and white distilled vinegar that has been stewing for 4 weeks. I do purchase essential lemon oil by the 4oz bottle and do add a teaspoon of it to my mixture. I do dilute it by 1-1 or 1-2 parts distilled water. Tea tree oil from time to time I will add essential oil to this. It really does clean well. Thank you for this very nice video. 💞

Yes! Those are both great ideas. There are lots of great recipes floating around out there for cleaning mixes and you could sub in your citrus vinegar. Vinegar and alcohol makes an especially good glass cleaner.

Your infused vinegar should be good for several months at room temperature ! If you want to make sure it stays super fresh for 6 months or more, you can definitely store it in the fridge.

3 weeks later my orange peels are still sitting in vinegar but can I use this on natural wood dinner table?
@TheCrunchyGinger
@TheCrunchyGinger 3 жыл бұрын
I am so glad you asked this. Diluted vinegar can be a great cleaner for wood. But depending on how it is finished, it can sometimes damage the polish on wood furniture. For your table, I would recommend making a wood cleaner using 1 part orange vinegar: 2 parts olive oil. (So like 1/4 cup vinegar +1/2 c oil). This will clean, shine, protect, and smell great!

You can definitely add ginger to vinegar using this same method (with or without the orange peels). I’m not too familiar with the cleaning properties of ginger, but I think it would certainly smell great!

Thank you so much. One question: what is the texture of the orange peels when you are done soaking them? I was wondering if they were still good as a garbage disposal cleaner or is possibly maybe they are too soft for that?

You’re welcome! The peels are pretty mushy when they are done. But I know someone who lets them dry out and then uses a handful to clean the garbage disposal. I haven’t tried it, but it seems like a great idea!

Vinegar by itself doesn’t “dissolve” grease but it does soften greasy food mixtures so they wipe up more easily. But orange oil does work to degrease. Also, that reminds me, this orange vinegar makes a tasty salad dressing, too! 😋🥗

The Crunchy Ginger Doubtful there’s any orange oil in it. Vinegar is not a solvent for hydrophobic substances, nor is it a surfactant, so won’t extract any oil. Oil and vinegar don’t mix, as I said. It’s extracting some of the aroma compounds, which are hydrophilic, which is why it becomes scented. If you believe this concoction softens grease add it to a jar containing some bacon grease. You’ll see no effect the next day. Heat it and let it cool. Vinegar might dissolve some salt from the grease, but otherwise won’t affect it because it’s chemically unable to. What you may be referring to when you say it softens grease sounds more like simple rehydration of burnt-on or dried-out residues. Rehydration reduces surface adhesion, allowing them to slide right off when you abrade them with a sponge.
