If you share it, so shall I. Recently started making my own cleaning products, after realizing that the fresh lemonade/limeade booth at the market throws away a 5 gallon bucket worth of rinds every week. Fill big glass jars with rinds, pour white vinegar in up to the brim, cover, shake, let sit 2 weeks, decant. High acid content, strong citrus scent, can be used diluted for almost anything. Straight, be careful on painted surfaces. I started a big batch of a fermented citrus bio-cleanser useful as a replacement for Nature's Miracle and Oxyclean, but it's got another month to go before it's ready. Smells amazing already though. If you wipe surfaces down with vinegar, and then lightly mist over that with hydrogen peroxide, it's a more effective anti-bacterial than chlorine, without the toxicity. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
