Did you mean Teatree Extract?

I have never heard of grapefruit oil myself. Maybe I am not aware, but I know the Releasit products have teatree extract in them, and at increased drops per gal. I think 10 it becomes a potent antimicrobial. Correct me if I am wrong.

I know you will get the answers you are looking for!! These folks are full of knowledge, and always ready to help happy.gif

Have a Great Week!

Grapefruit oil smells great and is another essential oil alternative. It also exhibits some cleaning properties, though not as potent tea tree oil. So if you wanted to use another essential oil to alter the scent of Releasit, you could apply a few drops of essential oil to your solution. And grapefruit oil would be a particularly good option as it would blend nicely with the tea tree scent of Releasit. Only a few drops per gallon would be required to produce a nice scent.

So where do you buy grapefruit oil? Would it be at Wal-Mart where I get my tea tree oil?

Kevin,

You'll probably need to track down a local health food store that sells essential oils. Or you can probably find it online too.

GSE
Grape Seed Extract is better than Grapefruit extract for cleaning. Though GSE does have a lighter scent, and grapefruit a stronger scent.

Also if you are looking for the better Tee Tree oils, get the ones from Australia and not the lesser grade from India and China
