Hi Peter and all,

Peter said to soak screens in a strong solution of washing

soda and propolis would dissolve. Others have said that

washing soda would remove propolis from the floor. I

tried this and nothing happened. Alcohol will dissolve

propolis on the floor. There will be the odor for a while.

I used Arm and Hammer brand washing soda. Peter,

what kind do you use? What percent active ingredients

are in your brand? I tried just making a paste, still nothing.

Lionel
