I don't remember this being verified, but I haven't used it yet. Simple Green is my favorite cleaner for the westy table, cabinets, etc. It is strong, supposedly safe(r), smells weird but not bad. A little goes a long way. I made the horrible mistake of using "Febreze" on the upholstery. This stuff is horrible. It smells ok (although very chemically) when you first spray it, but it soon mingles with the existing odors and seems to pronounce them in a very bad way. My camper isnt bad.. but it does kindof smell like a 15 year old van. I thought some of this stuff might spruce it up. Bad mistake. |
