It's also a great doggie and kittie wash. Some vets recommend it for fleas, and lot's of rescue organizations use it to clean up oil spill victims! Go Dawn.

I agree. I foster animals and am a groomer. For the puppies and kittens under 12 weeks old most flea shampoos are too strong and can actually kill them. We use Dawn even on day old babies and it is safe. The dawn needs to stay on for at least 5 minutes to kill on the fleas so to prevent shock to the animal you need to keep them to stay warm during the 5 minutes like right in front of a heater or register vent.

Ever walked on the beach and stepped in a spot of tar? I did this once and no soap would take it off. We used vaselline to get it off.

Not sure where to ask this so I will post this here. Anyone know the best way to remove latex indoor paint from clothes? I have heard, rubbing alcohol, brilow pad, paint thinner, and more. Anyone try any of these methods?

So I went to my son's Occ. therapy this afternoon and she was working with him with paints. He squeezed the bottle and blue paint all over their newly painted walls.

She's fiddling with some clorox wipes that just wasn't getting it done. There wasn't much other cleanser choice, but she did have a can of NeutraAir air freshener. I couldn't find an ingredients list, but knowing that alcohol will pick up sharpie and pen messes, I thought what the heck, I'll try this on the now streaked walls. The paint was about a 4x4 area. By the time I was done, you'd never have know the difference, and this was on flat paint and it still picked it up nicely.

So just a helpful FYI that aerosal air freshener will pick up paint mess off the wall.
