Strain and Transfer: After the infusion period, strain the liquid to remove all peels and any residue. Transfer the citrus-infused vinegar into a spray bottle for easy use. You can dilute it with water if you find the scent too strong or if you plan to use it on delicate surfaces. A good ratio to start with is half water, half vinegar.
