I guess they would get licked clean then.
Too funny.
Btw, I like Method cleaners too..especially the shower cleaner. It's the only shower cleaner that doesn't make me feel sick. And does a good job too.

FYI - I was waiting to order the Honeysuckle for this spring, but they just told me that Rhubarb is their spring-scent this year.....so no Honeysuckle for 2008.

We got our Rhunard and I think it smells great.
Here's a funny story. The day it came in the mail I had a bad stuffy nose from a cold. I couldn't smell anything. Everyone gathered around sniffing and smelling and delighting in their scents. I sniffed excitedly. . .nothing  .
Today I could finally smell again and its delightful1

I looked in the store around here that stocks the most Mrs. Meyers. No rhubarb (at least yet), but I'm with Lisa - I plan on getting some of the basil products. They smell nice and fresh, not too flowery. Next time I'm there, I'll check the essential oil ingredients on the lavender. Maybe I can figure out what's in it that I don't like.
Peace,
Nancy

I've been using the Method -- and I love the bathroom cleaner. See why there has to be such varied flavors and scents. Give me lavender and eucalpytus anyday!! But keep patchouli and anything like it AWAYYYYYYYYYY |

Now, see, you ladies are tricky. I wasn't even going to read this thread because I wasn't really interested in any of the scents on the Mrs Meyer's website. And now here you have thrown in a whole different brand discussion! If I hadn't had a down moment to see what y'all could possibly saying about Mrs. Meyer's for all this time, I never would have known that there is a cleaner out there that smells like Eucalyptus!
I love Eucalyptus. I had never even heard of it until I was a newlywed and my dh brought some home saying he loved the smell. So, I try to keep some around to remind me of the early days of our marriage.
I think I will be buying some Method Eucalyptus cleaner next time I am at Target. Thanks!!

Uh, I just used the Lemon Verbena furniture polish this morning and  I got a bad headache. That scent it NOT for me.
Love the Geranium toilet bowl cleaner! And Rhubard smells great.
I still have LOTS of Gingerbread leftover.
Will it keep until next November? Is there a shelf life?????

Drugstore.com still has the Spring Cleaning kit in Honeysuckle. Mine was just delivered today. They have a decent selection of some of the other fragrances, too. Plus, it's free shipping on orders of $25 or more, for new customers.

Seconding this. I've been reaching for the basil over the rhubarb every single wipe-down. Yummy!

Now, can anyone tell me how much all purpose cleaner to add to the coutertop spray bottle to make more? |
|

This is on their website:
Making more Countertop Spray with your All Purpose Cleaner:
When the bottle is empty, simply add four tablespoons of our All Purpose Cleaner to 1/2 bottle of water, then you're good to go.
So, 4 T. with 1 cup of water. As their bottle of countertop spray is 16 oz.

Does anyone have trouble with the window cleaner leaving streaks? I love the Mrs. Meyer's line but each bottle of window cleaner I have purchased leaves bad streaks, no matter which scent formulation.
The rest of the line I love.

Rebecca,
I don't use Mrs. Myers (very tempted, reading this thread) but if you used other window cleaners before you may have residue that needs to be stripped from the glass. I had to do this before switching to vinegar for glass cleaning. It was easy. I just made up a spray bottle with water, vinegar and a splash of dish detergent and washed all the glass once with that.

Okay, so I bought the rhubarb set, and the Basil Countertop spray. Just used the Basil, and it is great! I really, really like it - it just smells so fresh. I was kind of overpowered by the geranium, and the baby was okay - not what I was hoping it would be like....so I am really happy with the basil!!!
I haven't tried the rhubarb yet, but dd18 smelled it and said, "This isn't like cleaners, it is like going to Bath & Body Works!"

I figured out the problem I was having with the windows. It wasn't the Mrs. Meyer's at all, it was the flannel rags I was using. They were bleeding on the windows, leaving smudges. I had washed them several times but apparently the dye was pretty heavy. I replaced them and now my windows are clean.

Rebecca--I use coffee filters for wiping windows and mirrors...read it somewhere years ago...they are lint-free and dye-free and cost effective as far as paper goods go. The huge pack that costs like $3 lasts months.
