Lemon and Lavender All Purpose Cleaner

Having just spent the last 10 days on the Master Cleanse or otherwise known as the Lemonade Diet, I have quite a few lemon rinds around. I have done this for the last 2 years now at the end of March beginning of April, a nice Spring cleaning for myself. I have had great results, it works really well with my body, though I don't recommend it for everyone.

I saved a few lemon peels just to make this great all natural household cleaner for more Spring cleaning!

After attending the YumUniverse launch party last year, this is the only cleaner I use anymore. Heather at YumUniverse gave a sample of her three citrus cleaner in the swag bags at the party. It works great on countertops and glass. I even use it on the tub!

Lavender is a natural disinfectant, and we're all familiar the cleansing power of vinegar, add the fresh scent and cleansing power of lemon and you have yourself a great mix!

enough organic lemon peels to fill your mason jar (2 will fill the pint size)
1 teaspoon organic lavender (a little more for quart size jars)
organic vinegar
optional: lemon essential oil (a drop or two will do)

Fill the jar with sliced lemon peel, add lavender, a drop of essential oil and fill with vinegar. Seal the jar and let sit for three weeks. After three weeks strain the liquid through a mesh strainer or very fine cheesecloth. I like to do it twice. Pour into a spray bottle and get to cleaning!
