G**gle it.

That will normally find you an answer.
I've never heard of it - sorry

tried Google and got only medical instrument info  its definitely gardening as I can make out "glasshouse" and "vine" on the label .

If it's that old, it may be no good or actually illegal since they banned a lot of chemicals a few years ago.
I would probably look to getting it disposed of properly and safely.
Your local council should have info on that.

Like you signature - I often wish I was a cat too!

Hi looked it up it contains ethanol ,chlorine and antitoxin and it was used to steralise wounds before surgery so maybe it was used to clean greenhouses ....

I wouldn't use it now to be honest.

We're not supposed to use Jeyes to sterilise borders anymore so I definitely wouldn't want to use it for that purpose.

My father in law always sterilised his greenhouse beds - his toms always did taste a bit odd
