There's nothing magical about melaleuca, people. It is tea tree oil and we use it in Australia as an antiseptic. Buy it is the supermarket. Smells like eucalyptus - which is what most Aussie plants...
Verosol silver (metal) backed blinds keep heat out in summer and heat in for winter. Brilliant. Not supposed to be cleaned - anti static - dust shakes off as you use them.
