I had a friend from CA come to visit and she saw my qt jar of orange peel vinegar. "What are you using the urine for?", she asked. I laughed so hard and told her about your handy little cleaner. She went away with appreciation. Thanks Patrick!

[@patricrichardson6350]

Funny!

[@stanekbarb6238]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@katinazepp8729]

It’s always fun when you share!!

[@tinapatterson4838]

Thanks for sharing! I am going to make tomorrow. You are such a gift to the world.

[@laurenterry1711]

Omg! I just found out that your new book is coming out and I’m so ready for it! I literally outlined Laundry Love so I had it as an easy reference (cause I’m cheap and I get most of my books from the library lol). I ordered your soap flakes and oxygen bleach and even fancy glass canisters and 1T wooden scoops to hold them in. Thank you for inspiring me to love laundry! I l have been loving everything natural home cleaning this year, and I’m seeing this video as a teaser for your new book! Can’t wait! Thanks for all you do!

[@stefinitelysomething]

I've been making efforts here and there to clean with more vinegar - this is great, thank you!

[@msmiami9791]

Fabulous! It’s healthier and you save so much money ❤

[@pattik3923]

Love this idea! Now I have something to do with all of that rosemary in my garden!!!

[@patricrichardson6350]

Rosemary vinegar will smell amazing

[@annemariepeltier7124]

Love this tip & and all of your other! Side note - my daughter was home for the weekend recently and I started to tell her a laundry tip. " Patric recommends to do this..." & she immediately stopped me and said "Who is Patric?!" Haha - "Why of course, The Laundry Evangelist!" Then she remembered my love of the book - Laundry Love!

[@lavonnebunt3677]

Good tip. Just happen to have a small jar of orange peel vinegar in progress ( from info of post on another site)! The brew was started 9/28.

[@user-vy3dy1gk8j]

I have been using cleaning vinegar for years! I also use peroxide for lifting gunk in my showers and on protien stains in my laundry! Far more better then buying all those terrible chemical cleaners...

[@barbaraalexander4642]

This was fun, for sure!!

[@thelaundryevangelist]

Thanks!

[@LittleSimoni]

Very fun! Hope Sumo oranges come out soon. They’re big and easy to peel. Thanks for the clementine tip ( cheese cloth ).

[@thelaundryevangelist]

Totally, and then those little gumball sized oranges in January

[@melissaburger7093]

Hi Patrick, I just Love you cleaning Spirit!! I have a laundry dilemma, today I accidentally wote on my dark moss linen pants. What is the best way to clean this satin with out ruining the linen. Thankyou for your help.

[@eligreenbaum9192]

This was fun!

[@patricrichardson6350]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@jendymiller]

I love this idea! I use essential oils but they don't really mix that well with vinegar or water! Making homemade orange cleaner is genius! Thank you so so much!

[@lpscrystalwolf6143]

Great tip and encouraging - happen to have lots of citrus hanging around needing to do something with.

[@barbarapuorrogalasso9742]

I like you, Patrick!

[@meatdog]

Great idea and I love orange smell. I noticed you did not dilute this so I'm assuming its not to be sprayed on clothes stains like 50/50 vinegar.

[@patricrichardson6350]

Right, it is for cleaning

[@kristileyva7423]

Love this!! Thank you!! I have a TON of essential oils. I use them for everything. About how many drops in total would you use for a 16 oz. bottle of vinegar? Thank you!! 🤩

[@thelaundryevangelist]

I do 15 or so. Just use it to scent

[@kristileyva7423]

Whoops, sorry, I see your reply several comments down. Thanks for the fun topica and video. Is that a lollypop tree the background??

[@shelleygraf8314]

So fun! Is it safe to use n clothes? I use the 50/50 vinegar and water on my T-shirts, would the citrus oil damage them?

[@thelaundryevangelist]

It is safe if you are still going to wash

[@vickigelberg691]

Super fun! How many oranges do you think?

[@thelaundryevangelist]

There are 5 or 6 in that jar, depends on the size and thick ess I would guess

[@kimmontgomery1522]

Hello! I did not realize vinegar was not safe for granite/marble surfaces. Can it be used on quartz? If not, what do you recommend using to clean kitchen counters? Mine are a leathered quartz (no shine). I love all of your tips, tricks and have given your book to my grown daughters. We are BIG fans! Thank you Patrick! You have saved me from buying large plastic laundry detergent because I use your flakes, oxygen bleach and vinegar.

[@thelaundryevangelist]

I wouldn't use it. I use vodka on mine

[@kimmontgomery1522]

[@lisaross6511]

What about the orange color staining surfaces, or the stickiness?

[@patricrichardson6350]

I haven't experienced either of those issues. I think the vinegar percentage is too high

[@barbarapappas7768]

Double checking that it's white vinegar? Thank you! :)

[@thelaundryevangelist]

It is cheap white vinegar

[@laurenterry1711]

Is that a half gallon sized jar? About how many oranges’ peels are you using? I read to use 2-3 oranges in a quart sized jar, “marinated” two weeks. Is that consistent with this process?

[@patricrichardson6350]

It is a quart sized jar. I just put orange peels in it until it is ful (keep in the freezer while I'm filling) it is probably about 5 orange peels. I let them soak for 3 weeks because you get better fragrance

[@GraceChen838]

I am going to try this, I use cleaning vinegar for mopping the floor....what sort of vinegar are yo uusing?

[@patricrichardson6350]

It is just plain white vinegar

[@shaban6151]

Can you use it on quartz?

[@thelaundryevangelist]

I would not. I would clean it with vodka, you don't want to dull the finish

[@pamelasertich9850]

I can put it in my plastic Chinese women that was made to clean the microwave. I use vinegar for almost everything. When someone asks me how to get something out, vinegar. I must sound like a broken record. I’m going to try this right away. Fab tip. Thank you. BTW my art teacher shared a great tip. Use Dr Bronner’s peppermint soap to clean the paint off of bracers. A squirt or two in a basin of water and let them soak. The paint just falls off

Does anyone know if Patric cleans with pure 5% vinegar or does he dilute it at all?

[@thelaundryevangelist]

The cleaning vinegar was straight vinegar, when inuse it in laundry it is 50 vinegar and 50 water

[@emilykaminski4122]

Noted, thank you! Appreciate the quick reply and great tips.

Doesn't using orange make it sticky? :)

No, there isn't enough sugar in the peel to stay in the vinegar

When did Patric become the laundry evangelist. The Laundry Guy was someone everyone could relate to. He wasn't and doesn't preach the Gospel of laundry. He's a Guy that has a passion for laundry. Who is just like the rest of us when it comes to laundry. He wants to get it done in the fastest and best way possible IVE never seen or heard him evangelize He's more like a professor of laundry. Please don't call him an evangelist. Let him stay our friendly neighbor "the laundry Guy

7 minute video, cut it down to 3 minutes and say “put vinegar in a jar and mix with other stuff”.
