Orange Vinegar test

I finally took the orange peels out the vinegar to see if the orange vinegar is a good cleaner like I have seen on Pinterest.
I took the orange vinegar and put it in a spray bottle and I added that much water also (1:1) as I knew that I did not need it full strength most of the time.
I had waited until the counter was in bad shape to test it (I did not take a picture as I did not want to show off just how bad it got) this is the counter that we use for setting food an often for chopping/prep, so many people can imagine just how yukky it was. But it made for a Great test! I simply cleared off the items off the counter and the using a spray bottle I laid down a thin coat of the Orange vinegar. I then grabbed my sponge (I knew a paper towel would not hold up this time) and started wiping/using the scrubber side as needed. I was pleasantly surprised that it did a great job! I even had to rinse out the sponge a few times and that did not seem to change how fast the gunk was coming off. My hubby did mention the smell (but I think that came from a different source, I was multi-tasking) and I did take a paper towel to the counter after, just to dry it off.
I think that I had better start another batch as I am using it up fast! in the past 24 hours I have cleaned the counters (I did the other side today) I even used it on my pizza pan (the style with the med size holes in the round cookie sheet) that I used for heating a greasy leftover, it was MUCH faster and did a better job than the soap and sponge would have. All I did was spray it on, let it sit for 10-20 seconds while I grabbed the dishes from the table, then used a kitchen brush to clean it off. It took less then a min.!
I really like that it cuts hard water built up, grease and is 100% safe for us and the pets!
The next batch is going to be lemon as I found a great sale on them this week and for non-greasy cleaning the smell will be better, more like a cleaning product that you might find in the store. I plan on using it in the kitchen and bathroom for the more routine mess cleaning, keeping the orange for the harder jobs (next time I find oranges on sale....)

I am also in progress of 2 more tests both seem to have good uses, one of them not what was the application for witch I tried it, but still a cool, cheap way to clean... more later on those. The un-named mother's day gift's are also coming along nicely, but that post is gonna have to wait until I deliver the gifts, as posting before would give it away.
