Citrus Vinegar Spray

Homemade Citrus Vinegar Spray

Useful Idea for the Day:
Save those pieces of citrus peelings to make a homemade citrus vinegar cleaning spray. Save the peelings from oranges, grapefruits and lemons. Here is a leftover piece of lemon slice I had from a water glass. Cut it into small pieces as shown to put into a bottle sprayer. Add vinegar to the sprayer and use the homemade citrus spray for cleaning countertops, sinks, and your bathroom.

After a month or so, the peelings do begin to break down. I use a strainer to remove any decomposed pieces as needed. Add more vinegar and peelings to keep your homemade citrus cleaner filled. You can use the old pieces as a scrub too for your sink before throwing them out.

Conclusion: The citrus vinegar solution makes a useful homemade cleaning solution that leaves your kitchen and bath looking and smelling wonderful.

Holding a Nail for Hammering

I just saw this niffy idea on how to hold a nail for hammering. This is especially handy when you have a small nail and need to be precise with your hammer hits.

I just love this idea and found it so useful that I wanted to share it. All you need is a clothespin. Here is my personal photo using the unique nail holding technique.

I can’t wait to use this idea next time I have a nailing project. I’m sure it will save on my thumb too. 🙂
