    Yes, I have tried it. I purchased it in Az and now I can't find it here. Makes me so mad. But, I have been making my own.
    1 cup staflo
    1 cup water
    1 cup fabreeze
    I guess if you can't find Staflo the recipe won't help you. Sorry.
    Just curious, what is liquid Febreeze? ZI seem to use it in everything else, but havent seen any liquids , what is its purpose?Other than smelling good!LOL
    the febreeze is just added so you will enjoy the experience more. =) I've done this and when the heat hits its its pretty amazing. But in all honestly its just a waste..
    I think people add Fabreeze so it will smell more Like Best Press, or whatever it is.

    Sorry, I have never heard of English Peas either!!!

    For years the sweet peas were labeled English peas. Sweet peas became the more popular name and sold more labeled Sweet Peas.
