Orange vinegar based spray

I found this tip on Pinterest the other day.

http://pinterest.com/pin/151433606190700864/

I put the peel from just one orange into a small jar and covered it with white vinegar. It has only been in there for about 3 days and smells absolutely delicious, no smell of vinegar at all, just fresh oranges.

I am def going to top up with more orange peel and vinegar, after 10 days it will be fantastic.

I am going to use it as a surface cleaner, does anyone think it would be ok to use it as an air freshener?

    great idea to save on cleaning products, i think it will be fine as an air freshener too, just pour some of it in a small jar and put some wooden sticks in it so that half of the stick is out of the jar/bootle

    I have ordinary (13p @ Tesco) brown vinegar in a small spray bottle, I use it to clean my ceramic hob, my working surfaces, wiped down dry with crumpled newspaper, and in a larger spray bottle to kill weeds ( not in grass ) on paths and in isolation.

    It smells of vinegar for a very short while, but leaves everything squeeky clean.

    I normally use white vinegar for cleaning hobs etc and it does do the job and as you say, the vinegar smell does fade quite soon. I thought this was worth a try as I had oranges that were about to get binned, glad I didn't bin them now.

    :D
