If you leave it in the fridge you could do it but that doesn't make it very convenient to spray after your shower.Extraordinary Ordinary Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232777722945061624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845698380392147546.post-15975612460848905692013-03-02T18:57:36.327-05:002013-03-02T18:57:36.327-05:00I'm about to make this shower cleaner after he...I'm about to make this shower cleaner after hearing so much about it, but was a little concerned about the vinegar smell; would i be able to put in fresh lemon juice to help w/the smell or does it have to be the oil?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378940872477227881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845698380392147546.post-8817916557889114132013-03-01T22:44:06.607-05:002013-03-01T22:44:06.607-05:00@Sarah Allison

The vinegar scent can be a bit harsh, I agree. I like to add lemon oil or a bit of lavendar oil and that seems to help.
