How's the smell with the alcohol? I might try that in mist form if the smell's not so bad - I have two in the foyer now bc of their height (the actually outgrew my 11' garage last week), so I have to watch the odor in the house.

I've always been hesitant to use dish soap in a spray - but I guess as long as I don't poor it on, what's the harm. Anything to avoid the more serious chemicals.
