Fill half of your mason jar with lemon peels and the other half with white vinegar. Seal the jar tightly and shake well. After letting the mixture sit for about 2-3 weeks, toss the lemons peels and strain the remaining mixture through a mesh strainer into the second mason jar, filling it with distilled water in a 1:1 ratio. Pour into a plastic or glass spray bottle and start cleaning!

Add 3-4 drops of lavender essential oils for a boost of fragrance. This all-purpose cleaner can be used on just about any kind of surface including countertops, floors, cabinets, windows, toilets, and even inside the refrigerator. Happy cleaning!
