Thanks, that looks delicious Lydia and I will definitely try it but I will probably try and cut the recipe in half, after I find a way to change the measurements from metric. I've seen a website before that will change it for you and all you have to do is copy and paste in the recipe. Hmmmm................... now where did I see that?? When I find it I will post the link. :)

One of my new FB friends posted this today and I thought it looked delicious and easy.

DARE to be different!

I am assuming that only the orange peel is used from looking at the contents of the jar and I was not the one that wrote the comments under the photo but I may give this a try sometime soon as my well water has a lot of rust and it keeps me busy trying to keep it cleaned off the inside of the commodes and the sinks.

I promised you guys that I would try this and report back. You peel 2 oranges, or in my case, 2 grapefruits, and soak them in vinegar for 2 weeks in a tightly s...ealed mason jar. I put mine in the window sill. This is for a household cleaner, but what I discovered is that this stuff takes iron stains off of the sink, faucets, showers and toilets and it works better than Lime Away and almost as good as Iron Out!!!! Non toxic too! I LOVE IT!!!!!
