Re: Another blog with a recipe for an enviromental spray

Holly, wasn't it DE that was your key difference maker? (or is there

more than one Holly here? ;-)

Also, what are the cedar chips you're referring to? Are these cedar

animal bedding chips (like for hamsters and such)?

I find that sparying mixes containing either isopropyl alcohol

(never tried ethyl except those hand sanitizer gels) or hydrogen

peroxide puts permanent spots on certain plastic parts in my car

(more like eats the shiny coating off). 3% hydrogen peroxide was

also very tough on my skin... my skin would blister up.
