Hi Carol, I get migraines and I have birds, so every cleaner that we have has to be non-toxic and not very strong. this would include also getting rid of mites and lice from birds. I sprayed them with the spray and within 20 minutes I got a headache. A lot of the non-toxic cleaners that we have to buy are very expensive and that is why I was wanting to make them myself. So, I'm just talking all across the board. Bathroom cleaner, toilet cleaner, kitchen cleaner, something to mop the floors with, something to clean the birds' cages, and natural ways to get rid of ants bees, hornets, yellow jackets, etc from the back yard. so you see, anything will help our cause.
