Ok. I've been searching the net and this is what I found http://www.sequoiahumane.com/articles/battling-the-beastly-bane.htm
Oh, I almost hate to do this. I'm not sure what it's become now, but there used to be a multi-level marketing company called AmWay. The name has changed now but the products are the same. They have a cleaning product called LOC (Liquid Organic Cleaner) that is extremely mild but effective.
The orange and citrus based cleaners are probably a good choice, too, as they are fairly benign and most dogs and cats won't try to lick the surfaces as they don't like citrus - find it repellent actually.

I also agree with vinegar....awesome cleaner. I use baking soda, too, for any job that requires a bit of scrubbing. It is non-abrasive so it is amazing for any surface.......removes stubborn stains easily. Don't know what surface your kitchen floor is, but if it's a newer vinyl....you don't need to ever use any harsh chemicals to clean it....at the most, a little squirt of dish soap in warm water. 
And, you could always rinse if you want to be certain all soap residue is gone.

I've heard borax is an excellent cleaner. I've never bought it though. I don't know anyone that uses it. Of course I don't discuss cleaning products with a lot of people.
Tip: equal parts of vinegar and baking soda down a clogged drain is an effective "drain-o" You pour soda first, then vinegar and cover for about 10 minutes. Then flush with hot water. You may need to repeat as it's not as strong as commercial corrosive stuff. Much safer though for the enviro and the household in general.

Oh, when I was living in Japan they had delicious, quality, cold green tea. I've never found the right kind yet to make it at home. Not the same quality. I think it was a Sencha. And it never had sugar added or anything. It was so great. Sometimes I try to make some at home and I like it but it was not as good as in Japan.
It was funny because they had vending machines everywhere where we could buy cigarrets, beer, tea, coffee, pop, juice. In the summer they would have cold vending machines. The tea would be cold, coffee... And I remember one day waiting while I was doing my laundry. It was fall and I went out to get my green tea that I always got during the summer. Cold green tea. It was HOT! I guess they just flip a switch for the winter and all the beverages go hot. Of course not pop and juice and stuff. That amused me.

Oh, go to www.uptontea.com and browse through the green teas, or you can do a website search for 'sencha' and it will pull up about seventeen matches.
That's funny. I guess you looked up sencha before you posted. Cuz, I'd be a little in awe if you knew already new there'd be 17 hits!
I looked. Some of those teas look great. How long does 125 grams last? I love the tea pots. I had a really great one in Japan but I left it behind.
Have you ever had a tea from Argentina. It's a herb. Very traditional. Thinking... mmm... I can see it. I can even make out the sound in my head... I'm going to have to look it up. brb

Yerba Maté. That's it. Really nice. they drink it all the time there. When I was in Buenas Aires I'd see people, mostly women, sipping it in their odd shaped tea pots.
