Hi Lionel

> Others have said that washing soda would remove
> propolis from the floor. I tried this and nothing happened.

> I used Arm and Hammer brand washing soda

In UK Arm and Hammer brand is famous for producs containing Sodium
Bi-carbonate. Which we call baking soda, Washing soda is Sodium Carbonate

Here is a website that discusses the difference...
http://www.cutofcloth.com/article_bakingsoda.asp

Sodium Carbonate will shift propolis and Sodium Hydroxide will also shift
it.

In Uk we call Sodium Hydroxide... Caustic Soda, which I think is called Lye
in US.
