1. The Core Ingredients and Their Roles

The beauty of this cleaner lies in its simplicity. Only two primary components are required, each playing a crucial role in the cleaning and scenting process.
1. White Distilled Vinegar
White distilled vinegar is the workhorse of this formula. It is a mild acid (typically 5% acetic acid) that effectively cuts through grease, grime, soap scum, and mineral deposits. It acts as a natural disinfectant, killing many common household bacteria and molds. Its deodorizing properties are exceptional, neutralizing odors rather than just masking them.
2. Citrus Peels
The peels of oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits are the second essential ingredient. They infuse the vinegar with their bright, fresh scent, completely transforming the pungent aroma of vinegar as they steep. The peels contain d-limonene, a natural solvent that helps break down grease. They also add a subtle antibacterial boost to the final solution.
