All Purpose product and more

Here's an all-purpose product that serves more than one purpose. Take a spray bottle and fill with original Listerine. One of the purposes is it will disinfect wooden surfaces, sinks and counters. Another purpose is to spray on your indoor plants to keep bugs off  of them and keep them healthy. If you spray the leaves of your indoor plant, it will have them looking clean and pretty.
