What Do You All Sanitize With?

[Country Kids]

Country kids - thanks for the tip about using the Scentsy wax to make candles. I go through a lot of Scentsy so this will be great!

Your welcome! My husband couldn't believe I would save the wax-. I know he's picturing the show hoarders with tons of wax involved-::.

What I do is take a candle holder, put in a wick (bought a package a Michaels),then pour the wax in when I'm ready for a new wax cube and keep adding till its full. The smell changes as it hits the new layer of scentsy.

Genius!!! Stealing this!

I use 1/2 tsp bleach per liter of water to sanitize, as per our state guidelines. I use steam for the floors and everything non-bleachable I have a portable steam cleaner. My DS has a TON of allergies, so no clorox wipes or lysol anything as it breaks him out badly.

Thank you for the Genius part! You don't know what that means to me today!

Ok, scentsy question.
I used these for a while and they seemed to work at first, after reading these posts I wonder ... Once the wax melts completely do you need to replace it with a new one?
Maybe that was my problem? LOL :::confused:

I use lysol, pinesol, bleach & water.

wash with warm soapy water rinse with clear water ( a must as soap nuetralizes bleach) then sanitize with a bleach spray, let air dry.

You can not sanitize too much.

I do the same. (I only included the part of your quote that we do. We don't have to use test strips.) I do like the idea of using the dishwasher for some items. I've never thought of that!

Mine melt within the first few minutes and then I will burn it for the day or 1/2 a day. I just leave it in the little dish and remelt for a couple days before changing them. Some scents last longer then others I've found.

wash with warm soapy water rinse with clear water ( a must as soap nuetralizes bleach) then sanitize with a bleach spray, in MO it is 200 ppm and we must use test strips.. something like 1/8 to 1/4 t per quart of water. It depends on your city water. Then let air dry. Other states it is higher like 1 T per gallon.

You can not sanitize too much

Lysol works for floors but remember you can not use it on mouthable surfaces ( like toys) not things that come into contact with food. ( like kitchen counters)

Most children do not lick the floor.

You actually can sanitize too much. It is unhealthy.
