A clear thin liquid with a pleasantly dry citrus scent, it is steam distilled from citrus rinds.
This oil is very versatile, being safer to use and more effective than most commercial and industrial cleaners. At 5 - 15% of total product, it may be blended with surfactants for industrial-strength cleaners, or solubilized and added to water and vinegar bases for effective natural disinfectant surface cleaners for use in the home. It may also be used at full strength as a biodegradable solvent, without the negative impact that synthetic chemical solvents have on the user or to the environment.
Note: Not for therapeutic use, this is mostly used in green cleaning products and in fragrances.

Rating: I love this product. I use it in my homemade cleaning wipes, mixed with liquid soap and rubbing alcohol and water- then use that concentrate to add to water for floor cleaning. The wipes clean grease really well, and even old paint. Have to be careful using that full strength as it'll eat through plastic and remove the stain from wood! I mix this with a cheap dollar store stain remover and ammonia to make a very effective all purpose stain remover. I'm almost out of my first 6 kg purchase of it and will be purchasing my second soon. The first lasted for years! My only complaint is about the can that it came it. The pouring spout is not easy to use. If it was longer it would've worked better I suppose. It's set in from the edge about an inch and, even using a funnel, I almost always wasted some! No chance of pouring this without a funnel without wasting a ton!! Plus, the pour spout pulls out of the can and pushes back in to close it. Well, its plastic....and over the years the limonene ate through parts of it so there's holes in the spout thing now. I guess ideally you'll need to leave that neck out and not let it sit in the can. Or, what I'm doing next is using some of my empty 1 liter essential oil metal bottles and emptying it into there. Great product otherwise! And, as always, awesome price!
Rating: great value and works well in natural cleaners
