The smell of the cedar wood liquid and softener is devine. To be honest, I thought it might be all smell and no substance. I was wrong, it tackles stains surprisingly well. The fact that it’s vegan too is the icing on the cake for me. I have found with other vegan products you have to decide what’s most important to you - the ethics, the smell, or the cleaning ability. With Wilton, you don’t have to because you get all three.
