All you need:
White Vinegar
Tap water
Citrus Peels
Storage Container (like an empty mason jar)
Time
After eating or juicing citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, etc), just put the leftover peels in a jar and pour in enough vinegar to cover.
I keep a jar like this under my kitchen sink. Every time I have more peels, I just toss them into the jar and add more white vinegar as needed to keep the peels covered. When I add more, I just give the jar a little shake return the jar to it's inconspicuous hiding spot. After about a month, strain off the vinegar that is now infused with the oils from the citrus peels. Pour the infused vinegar into an empty bottle and add an equal amount of tap water. Attach a spray top and you have a cheap (about $0.50 per bottle) and effective kitchen cleaner.
Just spray onto your kitchen surfaces and wipe with a soft cloth
(Oooh!... Look how SHINY!!)
**Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and citrus oils are grease fighters. A perfect combination for the kitchen!
If you want to add a little more "oomph", you can add some essential oils like Tea Tree or Clove to beef up the germ fighting capability.
Disclaimer: As with any new product, before using try a small amount in an inconspicuous spot to test your surface's finish
