1 part/ratio Jaggery
3 part/ratio citrus peels (Lemon, Orange, etc.)
10 part/ratio Water (regular tap water)
10 drops per liter essential oil (any for fragrance)
1 pinch Yeast (optional) to fasten the process and reduce fermentation time to half.

Weight the ingredients on a measuring scale and pour it all in the plastic container.
For the first month, release the build-up gasses once or twice a day.
Then, for the following months, open the container cap once in a while to release gasses as required or every other day.
Wait for 3 months and it will be ready to use. (1.5 months, if you have added yeast)
Strain the mixture and store in a reused plastic bottle.
For the leftover pulp, you can either use it for the next batch as a starter for fast fermentation. Or you can grind it, store it and use it as a tough stain and grout remover.

Make sure you take the container big enough so that after putting in your ingredients, it is 1/3 empty.
It will only take 3 months for your first batch. When making your second batch, use the leftover pulp from the previous batch to reduce the fermentation time to 1.5 months.
Do not use a metal container to store this, it may corrode the metal.
Also, do not use a metal spoon to mix it, if you want to mix, use a wooden one.
DO NOT use glass as well during the fermentation stage as the gasses released contain pressure so the bottle will explode from it.
Do not ever keep it in direct sunlight, it will kill all the cleaning enzymes.
