I mean, he was pretty relentless at first. But my opinion is that the relentless will likely save us. Thank you for continuing to facilitate our conversation. It really means a lot more to me than I’d ever express had you not replied to me directly. Thank you, truly. Em

Citrus should always be rinsed off with water and diluted for economy and protection of plastics (up to 10:1). Simple Green attacks metal and causes hydrogen embrittlement which can cause cracking and catastrophic failure. This is a known problem for chains soaked in Simple Green.
