Oh my, I’m going to make the granite cleaner tonight! That stuff is soooo expensive in the stores and it makes your kitchen smell like a chemical spill. I will definitely be back to see more of your uber helpful tidbits.
This is one of my secrets…this lady and her products have been a godsend. Although, I may have to replace some of them with the options you have up there!
