Sarah: Thanks for the clarification of the ingredient terms used in Biokleen. I was not aware of this and going forward, I will make my own. I already use Dr. Bronners w/ some added h2o for hand soap.
On a side note, I have been using Biokleen produce wash and am wondering if I should replace that as well?? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I am going to try using tea tree as a substitute because there’s no bergamot in the house right now. Maybe add a few drops of lemon oil too. Also Michelle, anionic and nonionic surfactant blends are basically a euphemism for sodium laureth sulfate. Thanks again for this post, soooo helpful!!!

Hi Michele,

I’m surprised to hear you are seeing a film, especially using the vinegar. This should really help to keep the dishes spot free. However, I took a look at the Biokleen dish soap I bought at a health store for a great deal and noticed a few ingredients that it notes for it’s good cleaning power: grapefruit seed and orange peel extract. I’m wondering if maybe adding one of these might help. Good luck!

I tried using liquid Castile mixed with lemon juice, vinegar and a little peppermint oil. I found that there is a film on my glasses and left behind in my sink. Things feel clean, but the film on my glasses sure doesn’t look clean. Anyone else find this?
