When you need a quick way to spruce up your kitchen surfaces, you might be surprised to find that apple cider vinegar works quite well. Many people love using it because it smells much fruitier than harsh chemical cleaners. It is a fantastic option for a quick wipe down of countertops and small appliances.

Just remember to give your surfaces a good wipe with a damp cloth after you use the spray. This helps make sure you do not have a lingering scent of vinegar in your space. It is a simple trick that keeps things tidy without any complicated supplies.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 10 drops lemon essential oil (optional for scent)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the apple cider vinegar and water into a clean spray bottle.

  2. 2

    Add the lemon essential oil if you are using it to help balance the scent.

  3. 3

    Screw the cap on tightly and give the bottle a good shake to mix the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Spray the solution onto the surface you want to clean.

  5. 5

    Wipe the area clean with a soft cloth or a paper towel.

  6. 6

    Follow up with a damp cloth to remove any sticky residue.

💡 Tips

Store your spray bottle in a cool place out of direct sunlight to keep the vinegar fresh. Since this cleaner is acidic, it is best to avoid using it on natural stone surfaces like granite or marble, as it could dull the finish over time.
