Jeff--do you know- detergent --

August 11, 2006

Olif,

We use ALL-Free which (for the moment) has no enzymes or fragrance; I am not

familiar with " natural " detergents, but I believe that the products from

major manufacturers state on the label if enzymes are present.

Your cleaning mixture is somewhat self-defeating. The vinegar (an acid) is

neutralized by the baking soda (a base), so I suggest that you leave the

vinegar out. It will save you some money.
