    I’m so glad I found this post. I was at the store earlier this evening looking for Lysol Kitchen refill, but couldn’t find what I was looking for. So, I decided it was a blessing in disguise. I’m going to find an all natural substitute. I can’t wait to try the recipes you’ve curated.

    Thank you!
