Sol-U-Mel

That, ^, my friends, is my new best friend. Sol-U-Mel comes from a company called Melaleuca. Melaleuca is an online store that sells plant-based products for cheaps. The only things they don't sell is paper goods and food (except cereal and health bars). Sol-U-Mel is their coolest product. It's 100% melaleuca oil (a tree oil indigenous to Australia) which is an anti-bacterial, super-duper stain remover, spot lifter, anything-you-can-think-of-it-will-clean cleaner. It's amazing.

Yes, folks, amazing. It's so amazing, it cleaned my granite fireplace after Nora got a hold of a sharpie and scribbled all over it. It can clean crayon markings off walls. It can disinfect a cut on your finger. It gets ink stains out of clothes. It disinfects dirty cloth diapers (or shower curtain liners, or carpets that have been peed on...haha!). Anything. You can even add it to any of your favorite cleaners to enhance their performance!

It comes in two different sizes--16 fl. oz. and 8 fl. oz. I have the 8 fl. oz. which only cost me, as a member of Melaleuca, $10.99, plus an empty spray bottle for $1.49. It is the highest concentration of this tree oil out there on the market, so my little bottle will last me months because one only needs a tiny cap-full here and there. You can mix it with water (hence the spray bottle) to make it an awesome cleaner or just use the straight stuff for those really hard stains.

So, if you want some, as well as to try any of the other amazing products Melaleuca has to offer (like the best dish washing detergent we've ever found--and we've tried because of our really hard water--it's so refreshing to walk by the dish washer while its on and not smell chlorine coming out the vent), check out their website, ask me, or whatever. You can help me get my Melaleuca products free every month if you decide to join. Right now, until July 20th, you can join for $1.07, instead of the usual $39 membership fee. All they ask of you is make a purchase once a month with a minimum of 35 product points (each product is worth so many points). One more awesome detail: they'll give you $20 to spend for 5 consecutive months after the month you join. That's $100 of free product! Oh, and did I mention the rebates and discounts you get from other stores (like Target, Sears, and Borders to name a few) just by being a Melaleuca member?? Yeah, it's pretty nice. Think about it!

Merci!
