this may be a DUMB question, but what is ‘vegetable soap’?
- Kelly August 23, 2010 at 4:12 pm
  Suzanne – this is from Jessie…
  It’s the castille soap (Dr. Bronners or otherwise) from the ingredient description list. Sorry – I often use the two terms interchangeably, though I’m trying to remember to stick with one or the other!

***Lavendar oil***
what is a good option for replacement as myself and my daughter’s are allergic to lavendar?

If you like the smell, cedarwood oil is good for keeping bugs away.

Do you have a recipe for grease removal on clothes? Something I could pretreat with or just put in the washer with the clothes.

  Try Dawn soap. I used it to get a salad oil stain out of my jeans, and I’ve heard it works on grease too. Just wet the area, put a few drops of Dawn on it, then scrub it in with an old toothbrush. Let it sit for 5 minutes or more, then wash. Good luck!

    1 part Dawn + 2 parts hydrogen peroxide works even better. Let it sit until you see the stain lift, often within a few minutes.
