It also removes grease from clothes that need it, and a friend brought a brand new crepe skirt to me to remove a 20 cent size blob of mould from the skirt, I turned the shirt inside out, put a very small amount of the cleaning fluid on the mould and scrubbed it with a tooth brush, rinsed and the mould was gone.<br />I started making this some 30 years ago and have never spent any money on other cleaning products in all of that time.Aileen Susan Jefferyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861403660655591324noreply@blogger.com
