Does anyone have any idea what the scent of Melaleuca's Tough and Tender kitchen cleaning spray is? I love the smell of that but I can't figure out exactly what it smells like. It sort of smells like a blend of a lemony mint or something. If anyone else uses this, could you tell me what you think it smells like?

Tough and Tender - a fabulous cleaner made by Melaleuca
Iam not really sure sure what to call that scent.It it is so strong that it is a bad smell or smell's like amonia.I love the way it cleans.We use it all the time.

Sol-u-mel - a cleaner made by Melaleuca
Oh no,Iam sorry I was interrupted and misstyped.I meant it doesn't smell strong and like amonia.Your right,"Tub and Tile" is strong smelling.Matter of fact I just made a new bottle of "Tough and Tender".Most people like "Sol-u-mel" better,but I don't.

Do you really think it smells strong and bad?....like ammonia? I love the smell of it! I usually describe it as a lemony-spearmint scent. But I wasn't sure if that was right. That's why I asked to get others opinions. Thanks for your response.

Oh Hey! I just got to thinking... What you described sounds like the "Tub and Tile" for the bathrooms. Is that what you were talking about? That has a strong ammonia type smell but it works really good.

I'm not sure. I lose track of time too...not because I'm a senoir, but because I do the same thing day after day and it seems like it's all just one big day! Maybe that's how seniors get that way!?? Makes sense, doesn't it!

you can call the product info department and find out the ingredients. I just like the light scented clean smell! I had to use scrubbing bubbles at a beach house a week ago and thought I would pass out...I can't believe I once thought that smelled clean...gross!!!

Lol, yea I know what you mean. I had used Melaleuca's Tub and Tile when I cleaned dirty bathtubs in other people's houses. But recently I started taking my own all natural ingredients with me. I sprinkle baking soda all over the dirty parts of the bathtubs, then pour some vinegar over it, which makes it bubble. Then I just use a wet cloth and all the soap scum and dirt comes right off. The baking soda works like a cleanser and scrubs it clean.

looks like no one was able to answer this. They use Thyme as a scent in a lot of their cleaning products. they changed it to Thyme in the last 3 years so thats why i answered.
