Lol Uny, you know that I'm not gonna be able to say just a 'few words' lolol!
I would love to get MII products for my birthday. Pretty smart of you niteblume to tell them what you really want so you aren't stuck with something you won't ever use.
Below is a post I wrote a little over a month ago and I am still LOVING these products. I bought the whole line and love every single one of them. I've cut out dish soap for the sink and for the dishwasher, laundry soap, deodorant, body soap, all skin care products and cleaning products except for Clorox which I have to have to clean out the hummingbird feeders.
As long as the company continues to produce the same fantastic products I don't see me ever going back to all the various products that these have replaced.
My husband has used the gel to remove bad sun spots on his hand and he has stopped poison oak in it's tracks from spreading. He put the gel on a spot of the poison oak one night and the next day it was gone. He has used it for a really bad case of heat rash he got back when it was so hot last month. He smeared it in all over the spot and the next day it was much impoved and by the second day it was gone.
I can't say enough good things about this line of products! They have truly changed my skin from dry to very moisturized and the gel makes my skin feel like silk, I'm not kidding, like silk! The texture of my skin has changed from rough to silky smooth.
The laundry ball is amazing. Sometimes I put a tiny capfull of the soap in with it but 9 times out of 10 I use only the laundry ball. I would have never believed it would/could get cloths clean but I'm telling you it does. Even my husbands dirty work clothes come out smelling like I got them off the clothes line after hanging in the fresh air and sunshine for hours.
I'm going to stop now but believe me I could go on and on and on about MII products. I think you'll love them niteblume!
Blessings,
Willow
Hi Willow!
I also use Miracle II and I have a couple questions for you. You say that you use Miracle II in the dishwasher...are you using the non-foaming soap? Also, I was wondering how often you replace your laundry ball...is it supposed to be effective 'forever' (as long as the plastic doesn't crack)? Do you ever use Miracle II Neutralizer in the laundry for softening or removing static...how much do you use?
Hi NaturalRN,
I was at work when I wrote that post and I had to leave it three times because I got interrupted so the last time I came back to it I just wanted to hurry up and get it done lol. I meant to clarify about the dishwasher usage but just forgot.
My husband found some old half gallon glass canning jars that were my grandmother's in our attic. They are kind of a blue/teal color and so pretty. I wanted to use them for my tinctures so I hand washed them because they were so dirty but then I put them in the dishwasher and ran them through with regular dishwasher soap. I took them out and set them down meaning to put lids on them but I never did (it's been months) so I felt like they had dust in them. I put them back in the dishwasher and used 3 droppersful of the MII regular soap and ran them through again.
They all seemed fine when I got them out. I ran some water in one of them to make sure there was no soap residue and there wasn't. But I'm not really sure that using that tiny amount of soap would get dirty dishes clean. I was afraid to use any more than just droppersful because I was afraid I'd see bubbles coming out the dishwasher lol!
So I really can't recommend using it for the dishwasher but in my case for what I needed to do it worked fine and no bubbles coming out! ;) I had no idea they made non-foaming soap, that must be new since I bought all my products, I guess I'll have to check that out because I'm sure it would be much safer for the dishwasher.
I've only had my laundry ball for a little over a month but I do laundry just about every night and it's working great. I think that Uny told me she's had hers for 3, 4 or 5 years and is still using it. I swear I wish I could figure out how that works, all I can say is that is sure does and once you pay for it that's a HUGE savings in laundry soap for me because I do so much laundry. They will replace the ball for up to three years if something happens to it but I've read about people having it lots longer than that. The people I bought my ball from said they had been using theirs years longer than the three year period.
I'm glad you brought up about using the Neutralizer in the rinse cycle of the wash, I was going to write about that but I wanted to get the post done and forgot. Yes, I do use the Neutralizer in the rinse water, I feel like it makes the clothes feel like I've used fabric softener. I use a cap full of it for each load, the cap on the bottle is tiny so it's not much at all but enough to make a difference. I also keep some in a spray bottle and spray my face with it after I wash it with the MII soap, then I put the gel on and when that dries I put on the moisturizer.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all things Miracle II!!!!!!

Hi Uny!
I wanted to let you know that I have ordered Miracle II from Miss Daisy's Health http://www.missdaisyshealth.com/ and received very good service. My items arrived promptly and nicely packed. I also have several friends that I have 'converted' to Miracle II that order from this site. I like the convenience of ordering from a website instead of waiting for someone to respond to my email (like you mentioned about your original source).
Also of interest is that Miss Daisy's carries Miracle II non-foaming soap: http://www.missdaisyshealth.com/shop/product.php?productid=16152&cat=259&...
...this might be something that would work in the dishwasher.
And like you said...these are the best prices I've found!
