Please note that vinegar and citrus are very acidic! Therefore, it is NOT recommended to use this vinegar cleaning spray on granite, marble, or other sensitive stone surfaces.
White vinegar provides natural but effective antimicrobial activity. It is also very inexpensive!
However, many people find the smell of white vinegar to be far too pungent and sharp to use as a cleaner on its own.
That is where the lemon (or other citrus) come in!
By infusing white vinegar with lemon peels, this cleaning spray takes on a fresh, citrusy, enjoyable scent. Furthermore, lemon has its own formidable cleaning powers too!
Lemon is known to have natural anti-fungal, antibacterial, insecticidal, and deodorizing properties.
