Method
- You will need a large jar
- Save any lemon shells from preserving or baking - half shells, lemon peel, zest and place into your jar.
- Pour over the vinegar, white distilled or cider
- Put in the lid and give the jar a shake
- Leave for approx two weeks to allow the oils to come out of the skins into the vinegar. Shake the jar every few days
- Strain through a sieve lined with kitchen paper and store the lemon vinegar in a clean bottle. Discard the spent lemon shells
- To use: Mix 50-50 with water in a spray bottle.
- Effectively cleans and disinfects your surfaces, cleans windows, mirrors and leaves a pleasant smell with no build up
- Combined with bi-carbonate of soda you can clean sinks, bathrooms, ovens, with no harm to the environment
- Combine a 'splosh' with a 'shake' of bicarbonate of soda and a 'squirt' of washing up liquid with hot water to clean floors. Leaves a slight sheen and no build-up
- Lemon oil and vinegar are both highly anti-bacterial and you can utilise these properties easily and cheaply to clean with no toxicity
