Cleaning with citrus

I like the news update about using lemons and other citrus fruits mixed with vinegar or baking soda to clean. Vinegar can also be used to clean windows. We used to clean the windows with vinegar and newspaper and I remember thinking they really shined nicely after that.

That is cool. Do I mix with water afterwards and do I need to do this kind of washing by hand? What items can I clean with citrus? Whites and colors?
Thanks.
