Cleaning Up/Cleaning product

Question
Some years ago I used a product for floors that had the best, cleanest smell and worked great, too.  For awhile they offered their product in collectible bottles, shaped like a bass fiddle, etc., in colored glass.  I want to think the name was Royox, but not sure.  Do you recall this product and know if it is still available somewhere?  I can still smell that fresh, clean smell in my head.
Many thanks.

Answer
Hi Edith;
Boy, this was a hard one!! :) I spent a ton of time looking this one up. Isn't it maddening when you know it and can't find it? I did remember it, but wasn't sure that your spelling was correct, so I started my research.

The name was Royox Pine Household Cleaner and was advertised as a 'clean fresh scent'. The company is know longer in business. However, I went on a few forums and asked some questions from all of the 'cleaners' out there.

I was told from several of them that the Lysol concentrate disinfectant is very close. Just follow the directions. Another woman told me that she uses the lysol concentrate and adds 5 drops of lavendar and it makes the house smell fresh and relaxing for days.

I know this isn't much to go on, but it is all I came up with. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help.
