In reply to Suzie. Wow! It sounds like that's exactly what happened! I've never experienced that, but maybe you had very "active" vinegar. If temperatures were on the warmer side, that might have made a difference, too. Were you able to strain and use the mixture?

Hello, is it possible to have created a mother after I strained the lemon & orange peels? I had my mixture in a linen closet that I would use to fill my spray bottles w/half citrus vinegar & half water to dilute. I opened my glass sealed jar and found 3 thick white rubbery disks inside. What is it? I’m so confused. lol

In reply to Jillian Gurrola. Great question. It does a great job on sealed porcelain tile. What kind of tile floors do you have?

Hi! Do you think I can use this cleaner to mop my tile floors without leaving a film or residue?

In reply to Suzanne Fox. Great question! I find that after one steeping session the majority of the citrus oils have been extracted to the solution. So I generally compost that batch of peels, and start with a fresh batch the next time I make homemade cleaner. ~Eliza

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s advisable to reuse the citrus peels for a second steeping in vinegar for another batch of homemade cleaner? OR should I toss them and start anew with fresh peels?
Thanks,
