Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Posted October 25, 2001 Hiya michelle, Citra solv? Me too! Love the smell and it's natural.. also buy Sal Suds (Dr. Bronner) and like to use that as well. I was on a cleaning binge (yesterday) now I guess you'd call it an oregano binge??? This morning, Mark took his w/sugar like a PRO... and I figured I'd be creative (after last nite) and took it mixed with Butch's olive oil and on a piece of bread.. then put some garlic & salt on it... tasted good! Mark looked on saying Yuck!

That was me Chris, What for instance, do you use to clean the shower tile, tub, commode etc................ I already have stopped using most of the harsh chemical cleaners, but I do still use bleach. Just can't get away from it for cleaning in the kitchen, especially in my dishwater and for cutting boards. Deonia Quote
