Bloo on Green ~ In Which I get fed up of breaking out in rashes every time I clean the house

Hello me Loverlies and Welcome to Thor's Day

Well I have to admit this week has been a bit of a toughy and when I accidentally sprayed spray and wipe on me and broke out in a rash I said ENOUGH!!!

So I sat and scoured the internet and I looked through my Nanna Lucy's book of bits and found a wonderful array of homemade cleaning products. Over the next few weeks I shall be making them all, but since our budget is what it is I shall be making one different type of cleaner each week for the next 6 weeks and share the how to's with you here.

So here we go with this weeks offering :~

Orange and Lemon Vinegar AKA Spray and Wipe

If you are like me you save EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. I even save citrus peels to candy or add to marmalade or cakes. Everytime we have them in the house and peel them the peels go in a box in the freezer so they are safe.

Now I know alot of you will say is that why use brown vinegar or malt vinegar rather than distilled. Well I shall tell you, distilled vinegar is relatively recent and to be honest this is the more tradtional vinegar to use and nooooo it doesn't leave stain marks at all cos you only use it on spray and wipe surfaces not on the carpet!!!!

So ingredients are :~

Citrus Peel to fill the jar, bucket or other type of container or your choice.
Malt or Brown Vinegar to cover the peels completely.

Like these here :~

- First off fill your jar with peels up to the top

- Then fill the jar with vinegar to cover the peels

- Leave the mix for a week in a dark cupboard

- Strain the mix and put in a spray bottle if you wish or a bottle of your choice.

Just use this as you would for the chemical spray and wipe, if you prefer the distilled or white vinegar feel free to use that instead. It is a matter of choice and no other reason at all ...

So enjoy it, try it out and see how it measures up to the chemicals. If you are worried about the smell I know the vinegar smell evaporates very quickly and to be honest I'd rather smell citrus oils and vinegar than bleach anyday of the week!!! Besides it's not like you have to keep it locked up either if a child drinks it no harm done and to be honest they would probably pull a face and not go there again. Lesson learnt and no trips to A&E to get a stomach pumped !!!

Have an awesome rest of your day
