You use the stuff straight out of the can. I admit it is a little on the
expensive side, but then I only have a 3 gallon washer. (I only have a 20
gallon one in my dreams) I must admit I did not think of your clever
arrangement with SafteyKleen and I salute your ingeniousness. Getting rid
of the stuff is not a big problem in most places. The SafteyKleen guy told
me that most communities have a day where you can bring in hazardous waste
to be disposed of (in fact in my community it is the SafetyKleen guy who
comes in to pick up the stuff). We have one of the SafteyKleen washers at
work and I have used it on occasion, but I think this other stuff actually
smells less and works better !
