http://www.drbronner.com/ - Here you can read about Dr Bronner's Castile soap

Castile soap is some of the best I have ever tried. It dissolves i.e. grease spots - like them around the stove - and it doesn't crave strength. I can only recommend it. Since I bought it, I have had a spray bottle next to the sink with a solution of water and a tiny bit of Dr. Bronners castile Soap - you don't have to use very much - so it last for a long time. - One day Mikael came home with a quite large oil stain on his sweat shiret. As I had read and discovered that castile soap dissolve grease, I poured castile soap all over the stain, WITHOUT RUBBING IT IN, rolled the sweat-shirt together and legt it like that for apx. 3 hours before it went in the washer. When I took it out, the stain was almost gone. THAT was quite an impressive experience - oil is something which is very difficult to get off clothes along with red wine. I haven't had a chance to try it on red wine - will let you know, how it works,

I HAVE NOT BEEN ORDERED OR PAYED TO SAY THIS ABOUT THE RPODUCT - IT IS MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THE PRODUCT.
