citrus cleaner

Lemon-scented spray bottle

A citrus cleaner is a cleaning product that uses citrus oils—typically from oranges, lemons, or grapefruits—as its active ingredient or fragrance.

The natural acids in citrus cut through grease and grime, making these cleaners popular for kitchens and degreasers.

The citrus cleaner took care of the stovetop splatter.

The term covers both industrial-strength solvents and household sprays marketed as natural alternatives to chemical cleaners.
