I just noted that I wrote I wasnt putting a essential oil recipe in there for cleaning wooden floors, but there is one in there. Note though, that I havent ever used that recipe as I dont have wood floors, so I cant 100% say it wont take the shine off. If you want to try it, just do a test spot in a hidden area. Also, I dont know if I can give people my e-mail address if they want a printable version of this? Or my environmental group on myspace? Can I? Will someone please tell me so that I can put this info down if someone wants me to send them out a printable copy? Oh, and sorry it took me so long to get this up online sylviatexas! Thanks, sammie

I just remembered that when we were at that park in Louisiana I got online to find something to use on Mia to help rid her of the fleas that were on her that was safe. I found mixing a portion of apple cider vinegar with water and a drop of detergent in a spray bottle was amazingly successful. We set her on a towel, I sprayed her to dripping wet with the spray and we watched the fleas just float up and we would just pick them off of her onto a paper towel every one was dead. I had no idea that would work. We reapplied a few more times with in the next day or so and each time less and less fleas. So you might want to try that, nothing in it that would harm the pet. In fact I add apple cider vinegar to Mia's food daily as directed by her vet for her reflux. We were really amazed. Luckily I had everything right there in the rv to use on her immediately. Poor baby was just scratching like crazy, we did not let her back outside in that area.

Neem or HO should not affect fruit as long as you use the correct concentration. You can add EO to the mix if you like, but only if you want to camouflage the neem smell ;-)
