I can\u2019t say that I have done any research as to its claims of naturalness but I can say that they sell it at PCC, my local co-op, and they are usually pretty good about vetting products.<\/p>\n<p>We like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citra-solv.com\/ppapc1.shtml\">CitraSolv<\/a> for the rest of the house. I love orang-ey smells!<\/p>\n<p>I know there are a lot of you out there who use water and vinegar mixtures. How does that work? Do you use them exclusively for every application or do you occasionally slip a product in here and there? What ratio of water to vinegar works best?<\/p>\n<p>For dishwasher soap, we use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citra-solv.com\/ppcdp.shtml\">CitraDish<\/a>. I used to have this terrible dishwasher that couldn\u2019t clean a thing. I tried several brands until I finally found this one. It made my terrible dishwasher look good.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for laundry\u2026 I was reading a post on one of my favorite blogs recently where she asked her readers what they used for laundry detergent. A ton of people recommended <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charliesoap.com\/\">Charlie\u2019s Soap<\/a>. I\u2019d never heard of it. I ordered some and it is awesome, non-toxic, and it makes my clothes and towels really soft. I cannot believe I just <em>said<\/em> that.
