SANTA PAULA, CA – Just in time for spring cleaning, Limoneira has introduced a series of helpful cleaning tips and DIY methods for using citrus to keep households sparkling and fresh year-round while avoiding hidden and potentially harmful chemicals found in store-bought cleaning agents.
For this month, Limoneira Spokesperson and Healthy Grocery Girl Founder Megan Roosevelt launched a new video filled with recipes and tips.
In a series of weekly videos, beginning January and continuing throughout 2017, Megan has and will continue to demonstrate fun, easy, and healthy tips—using Limoneira citrus to make the most of your year. See the latest for yourself, below.
Examples of DIY tips from Limoneira and Megan Roosevelt include:
Grapefruit Multi-Purpose Cleaner
You’ll need:
- Peels from multiple grapefruits
- Small glass jar with lid
- White vinegar
- Empty spray bottle
Directions: Separate the peel from the grapefruit (or the citrus peel of your choice). Using a small glass jar, place the peel inside, packing as tightly as possible. Fill jar to the brim with white vinegar. Cover jar with lid, and let sit for two weeks. When the infused vinegar is ready, fill a spray bottle with equal parts filtered water and grapefruit-infused vinegar.
Citrus Pan Scrubber
Ingredients:
- Orange or lemon halves
- Coarse table salt
Directions: Once the pan in question has cooled, add a few tablespoons of coarse salt. Take citrus halves (for added usefulness, juice them first and use the juice as you wish) and scrub away. Since this cleaner is completely non-toxic, simply wipe off or rinse with water after cleaning.
Lemon Microwave Cleaner
Ingredients:
- One lemon, halved
- Microwave safe bowl
- 2 cups water
Directions: Place water and lemon halves in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high in microwave for 3 minutes. The hot lemon steam will coat the inside of the microwave, and allow for easy removal of debris and food remnants by wiping with a damp cloth.
