Watkins Organic Cleaner

OK, I know... everyone is going to get (or already is) tired of me talking about Watkins but I'm just so completely sold on the products and company that it's hard to keep quiet about them. I just ran across a list of uses for Watkins Organic Cleaner on one of our bulletin boards that I MUST share with you. Just some of the uses for this product...

Appliances and Bathroom Fixtures: Use ¼ tsp to 1 pint of water. May help reduce odors.

Windows, Mirrors, All Glass: Use 2 drops in a 4 oz spray bottle of water. Wipe dry with paper towel. Do not use more than 2 drops or it will smear.

Dishes: Use 1 tsp in the dish water. Fill dirty pots with water and ¼ tsp of cleaner and let stand to loosen stuborn particles.

Floors: Use ½ tsp per gallon of cold water. (This concentration will not remove wax). Wring Mop to dry and wipe up spots and dirt leaving floors shiny.

Furniture: Use ¼ tsp per pint of water. With nearly dry sponge wipe off dust, fingerprints, candy, spots, etc. or use a spray bottle and clean cloth. Everything disappears from furniture leaving the finish beautifully bright and non-magnetic so the finish will not attract dust.

With two applications in the hot, fry summer the grass stays greener than others in the neighborhood. It makes the soil absorb water better. Also good on other outdoor and indoor plants.

Now to be honest I haven't tried all these tips out yet so I can't personally endorse them but knowing the quality of other Watkins products I have no doubt that the above will work and there are probably a lot more uses as well.
