It's an old fashioned cleaning liquid, I use it all the time, smells really clean.

I put a link in to a thread with uses but is seems to have disappeared!

Here it is again

As I've said before on many threads, I don't think it's about everyone elses must haves but what you'll use. Buying lots of things you won't use will cost more in the long run.

Cleaning - use what you have in first, pick up on ideas along the way. Stardrops of course is a good one as it's multi use.

Food pantry - work out meal plans, what you have, what you need etc to make it a meal is IMO the best way to save money.

In My Opinion, sorry shorten things when I get sleepy

Another thing in the must have kit is a smile. For when things go right, or like me when things go wrong, you burn something, a spicy meal becomes too spicy, or the funniest when you start using OS products and your partner puts bicarb in his coffee instead of sugar :rotfl:
