spray bottles, windows or mirror rags, terry rags, Murphy's wood oil, dawn dish washing liquid,
glass cleaner, bleach, mean green, pine sol, bucket to store bottles in, duffel bag to place
rags in, broom, dust pan, big vacuum and hand held vacuum. Take one chemical for one bottle to fill a quarter full then fill the rest with water. This should leave you with one bottle of mean green and water. One bottle with Murphy's oil and water and so on. Diluting your chemicals

all wood furniture. The dawn dish washing liquid that is used to wash dishes we eat off of is
