Can't believe I was seduced by a TV ad
Family and friends know I don't watch much TV so it's a wonder I even saw the ad in the first place let alone fell victim to it....but I did. On a whim I bought Spray 'n Wash with Resolve Power and boy was I sorry. If you have MCS like me, DON'T BUY SPRAY 'N WASH 'cause it's loaded with scent and will make you sick. Oh, it works...but so does Shout and without all the scent. What possessed the manufacturers to go to the extra expense of adding a ton of scent to a stain remover? Obviously you're going to wash the item and use detergent and fabric softener (both usually scented) so why would you need scent in stain remover. It boggles the mind. Anyway it took five washings to get the scent out of the item my husband used it on and then he just thru the whole bottle away so no one would use it again and give me another three-day migraine.

I really have to stop myself from being lead into a chemical TV ad. I want to buy them all. But I have to stop myself. I am weird, sometimes when I have chemical induced insomnia I watch informericals till 2 and 3am. I have to stick to my homemades. Thanks for sharing Jan I find that when I make my own I am happiest. My friends love my homemade cleaners. Have a beautiful week.-(I always say that to everyone, because it reminds me to do the same, even with a chronic illness.)

Here are some great sites for checking what is in your products. But remember that "fragrance" can mean a concoction of hundreds of carcinogenic, neuro-toxic, endocrine disrupting, respiratory irritants, untested and undisclosed.
