Question 1

What are the ingredients ? Is this natural?

Accepted Answer

For what information it's worth, I looked for these chemicals on Wikipedia...

"Methylchloroisothiazolinone is found in many water-based personal care products and cosmetics.[2] 
Methylchloroisothiazolinone was first used in cosmetics in the 1970s. It is also used in glue production, detergents, paints, fuels, and other industrial processes. Methylchloroisothiazolinone is known by the registered tradename Kathon CG when used in combination with methylisothiazolinone.[3]
Methylchloroisothiazolinone may be used in combination with other preservatives including ethylparaben, benzalkonium chloride, and bronopol."

And....

"Methylisothiazolinone and other isothiazolinone-derived biocides are used for controlling microbial growth in water-containing solutions.[2] Two of the most widely used isothiazolinone biocides are 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (chloromethylisothiazolinone or CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (methylisothiazolinone or MIT), which are the active ingredients in a 3:1 mixture (CMIT:MIT) sold commercially as Kathon. Kathon is supplied to manufacturers as a concentrated stock solution containing from 1.5-15% of CMIT/MIT. For applications the recommended use level is from 6 ppm to 75 ppm active isothiazolones. Biocidal applications range from industrial water storage tanks to cooling units, in processes as varied as mining, paper manufacturing, metalworking fluids and energy production.
Kathon also has been used to control slime in the manufacture of paper products that contact food. In addition, this product serves as an antimicrobial agent in latex adhesives and in paper coatings that also contact food.[3]"

Question 2

Is there an alternative for this, like a generic additive for regular water, that I can buy instead of this?

Accepted Answer

I’m not familiar with a generic brand that will be diluted enough that would flow. I tried using something different and it clogged the tip and broke my steamer. I will sometimes add a cap of this solution to the water and it works perfectly. I still have clean floor and a fresh smelling home.

Question 3

How much do you add to the Symphony model?

Accepted Answer

You fill the container with this. You do not dilute this.

Question 4

Can I put Murphy's Oil in with my water for my steam mop

Accepted Answer

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN PLAIN DISTILLED WATER IN YOUR FLOOR STEAMER! Been there; done that; ruined my 1st steam mop by putting a little bleach in the water. Now, I dilute Mrs. Meyer's surface cleaner & spray it directly onto the floor.  I would definitely dilute Murphy's Oil Soap and change your pads often. You don't want your floor sticky. Spray a little - mop a little - repeat. I'm sure you can lightly spray anything you want on the floor and then steam over it.  It makes the room smell amazing!
