The recipe calls for crystals, slightly crushed in a mortar & pestle CP but I have the powdered variety.  Might just do 1/2 a batch and see what happens.

I have made up the magic spray now all I have to do is convince my kids to use it over the holidays - it's killing me I want to get down and scrub my tiles but I probably won't be able to get back up as I had hip surgery a few months ago and I am still recovering - I could stand up though and clean the windows!

Don't do anything to risk a set back DGIO, the floors can wait if the kids don't take you up on your request.

Mandi or CP, I'm hoping you can answer this question for me.  I have found the spray bottle thingy whatsit ceases spraying if it is left sitting for a while - would that be because, unless it is rinsed after each use, it clogs up the mechanism?  Mind you some of the time it was only left for the 10 -15 minutes or so that one section of the floor was soaking then mopped clean.  I would then go on with the next section and it wouldn't spray.  I went through 3 different spray bottles today, now none of them are working.  When I did my bathroom I just tipped the liquid onto the floor as I was so frustrated that none of the spray bottles were working  >:(
Having said that, I have just tested one of the bottles which still had some liquid in it and the b....y thing is working ???

The cleaning part wasn't too bad Kim but I have very little patience with things that don't work - I am always quick to throw them in the bin and replace them.  Poor DH thinks himself lucky that he has survived  ;D

Oh no JD, I haven't had this problem at all :(
I used an empty spray and wipe bottle and a windex bottle. I didnt do any cleaning today so I will go and test the bottles for you.
Did you dissolve the washing soda completely ?

No neither of my bottles are blocked.
I wonder if it makes any difference because you use half strength vinegar?
I wouldn't think so but maybe?

Yes I dissolved the washing soda Mandi and I opened a new bottle of vinegar and used it full strength.  I'm happy that the one which still has something in it is working at the moment but the other 2 were emptied and I have them soaking in water.  I used 3/4 of the 2 litre bottle today so I can see why you had to make 2 batches.  The spray bottles I used were from Bunnings products plus one new spray bottle I bought especially for spraying my bread.
