Shampoo, body wash, undercarriage washing.
I’ve cleaned a kitchen floor with it, and used it to clean a toilet.
It worked very well indeed, on all.
This, for 40 years now. And one summer when I was poor, for brushing teeth too. Though toothpaste is more pleasant now that I can afford it!
Have used it for decades. Now I need to check out the documentary- had always ignored the print other than as a design pattern 
I hope not. That was a feature, not a bug.
I had a bottle of peppermint for a long time – nice and pepperminty for the bath! It’s also ok for washing floors and so on. Laundry, meh. I prefer my All with Oxyclean or Woolite.
Dilute! Dilute! Ok!
We have the peppermint stuff in our shower now. It is not good for female undercarriage. Everything else it’s fine for!
How can you use it as a shampoo? It strips all the moisture out of hair. It may be good if you haven’t washed your hair in a month but otherwise…That said it is a good soap for camping because you can do so much with it.

A bit manic, you think?
It’s terrible and useless for all purposes and every available scent smells medicinal. I’d call it snake oil, but it’s not even a good choice for reptiles.
Honestly those medicinal smells are its major appeal to some of us. I am most partial to the eucalyptus one but the price on that huge bottle of peppermint was too good to pass up.
The again I have found memories of my Dad’s witch hazel … anyone still use that stuff … for anything?
The almond liquid soap smells delightful. Like cherries, oddly.
I like most medicinal smells actually, but these all smell unpleasant to me. The product is useful only for contaminating things with its scent. It’s like a homeopathic cleaner – just a drop in your water and the right mindset and you can convince yourself it’s working!
I use the lavender in the shower, but not everyday – two to three times per week. I like the peppermint, too, but that is definitely not an every-day use; more like a few times a month. The peppermint gives me a fresh, crisp feeling.
I didn’t realize that there were other flavors. I think I’ll check them out.
shrug I used it as shampoo for two months while traveling. Didn’t have any problems. It was the unscented type, which I believe is a bit milder than the original peppermint.
I have also used it as soap, as a sort of unbubbly bath (it doesn’t bubble but mmm peppermint smell…), washing dishes, washing laundry, washing a dog (don’t worry, we asked the vet and he OK’d it), household cleaning, cleaning leather boots, cleaning various bits of camping gear. My mother claims the peppermint variety is also pretty good at killing ants that get into the kitchen.
If nothing else it’s worth keeping a bottle in your bathroom to provide reading material for guests.
You can avoid that drying problem by instead reusing one of those foam pumps they sell for other hand soaps (after, of course, diluting. OK!) I’ve used it this way for at least 5-6 years and never had it clog.
Yes, I use it as a “toner” after washing my face in the summer. It’s easier on my skin that stuff like Seabreeze.
Hell yes! Witch Hazel is a fantastic gentle astringent. It works great as a facial toner, even for skin that’s dry like mine or is sensitive and acne-prone. It can be mixed with other things depending on what works for your skin. Lots of people like to steep green tea in it and/or add a tiny (tiny!) bit of tea tree oil; I mix it with rosewater and a small amount of glycerin (rosewater is anti-inflammatory and soothes skin and both it and glycerin are humectants, which my dry skin absolutely needs). Applying it before my moisturizer has remarkably improved my skin.
Its anti-inflammatory properties are good for minor cuts or insect bites and help reduce swelling of bruises; this is also why it’s recommended as treatment (for relief, not a magic “cure”) for painful hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Witch hazel rocks! … Though yeah, it does smell a little weird at first. 
I don’t eat them (and I hate almond flavoring), but do Maraschino cherries have almond extract in them? If they do, that might be where you’re brain is making the cross reference.
I don’t like either of them for similar reasons and it’s making me thing (just now, never thought about it before) that part of the reason I don’t like the cherries is that they smell like almond extract.
Yes! I use it for a facial toner. Keep it in the work truck for a mid-day freshener. Also a cotton wool ball soaked in witch hazel and put in the freezer for a while stops itching from nasty mosquito bites instantly. Probably good for other itchy stings or rashes. I like the smell of it too.
When I had a dog who for a while had a stubborn staph skin infection, my vet suggested a drop of tea tree oil diluted in witch hazel to calm the itching while we waited for the antibiotics to work.
