Alternatives for Citrus in Vinegar Cleaning Solution

I made a batch of vinegar cleaning solution yesterday with leftover orange peels. It got me thinking about whether there are any alternatives to using citrus for this type of homemade product. Obviously, citrus peels are considered "waste" so this is a way to get some more life out of them, but as I am trying to move more towards relying less on grocery stores and more on producing my own food, I got to thinking about what I am going to do once I stop buying citrus. I know there are certain varieties that are cold hardy enough to grow where I'm at, though I haven't tried planting any yet, and they will of course take a few years to mature to the point of getting fruit.

So... my question to those perhaps in climates a bit cooler than mine - do you have any alternatives to citrus that you use to scent your cleaning vinegar?

I usually grow a lot of herbs, so some that came to mind immediately were some types of mint or perhaps lemon balm. Curious if anyone has tried these or others and might have any recommendations. I don't have any fresh herbs on hand right now, otherwise I'd make up some test batches and see for myself.

I have yet to try making a vinegar/citrus cleaner so I'll be curious to see what people have to say. I was under the impression that the citrus itself helped the vinegar as they both are acidic and can remove stains. I do however appreciate a good smell left afterward so perhaps someone has experimented. Maybe mint?

I live in a cold climate and I've used pine needles to great success! It smells a little like I remember pine sol smelling, and does a good job with de-greasing. Cedar works just as well.

I have however pretty much stopped using vinegar as a cleaner because I have found it to be too harsh on most surfaces (causing a cloudy etching effect on glass for example), and doesn't actually kill all bacteria. Instead I use plain soap and water for most things. Some exceptions are I use a salt brine to clean my butcher block countertop and when there is something super sticky or oily, I use lard or canola oil to dissolve the stuck-on grease (ie. resin from pine trees, glue from stickers on purchased items, or the wax from reseating a toilet ring making a mess on the bathroom tile floor), using a steel wool if needed and okay on the surface, then wipe up as much as I can with paper towel or scrap cotton (which I then use as fire starters), and then wash away the residue with soap and water. Hope this helps!

I have been using a 50/50 vinegar/water solution my whole life.

It works for me to clean and kill ants.

I save all my citrus peel to dry and use as potpourri.

Rosemary smells wonderful.  I make a tea and use the tea for a mouth wash though I bet it might be good for cleaning. Rosemary is antifungal, insecticide, antioxidant, and antibacterial.
