Occasionally shaking the jar. Remove the peels, and you can strain it as well. Use this vinegar in any of the following ways:
Pour into a small dish, and set in a room to absorb odors.
Make an all-purpose floor cleaner by mixing 1/2 cup to 1 gallon of water.
Glass Cleaner: Combine a quart of water with 1/2 cup of the vinegar and add it to a spray bottle. Use as you would glass cleaner.
Linoleum floor cleaner: Add 1 cup citrus vinegar with two gallons water of water and mop as usual.
To clean ovens: Spray or pour the vinegar on burned or soiled areas. Close the oven door and allow it to sit for 2 hours. Wipe clean with a sponge or rag that has been moistened with warm water. You may need to repeat.
