Can this D-Limonene Solvent also be diluted for use as a general purpose cleaner?

    Hello,

    Having read about the environmentally friendly properties of D-limonene I thought I'd get some to use as an alternative to more hazardous alternative solvents.

    Unable to find it in its pure form I purchased this:
    http://www.arcosafety.ie/product?productcode=3449005


    It was called simply 'D-limonene' it was late, I missed the 'Hydrocarbon' bit!, didn't check data sheet and thought it would be pure or contain a harmless mixer of some sort.

    Anyway while it will still be useful to me as a substitute for white spirits / rust remover and such, I'm wondering if it is possible / advisable to dilute this product for use as a household cleaner - bath / burnt in stains etc. and pest deterrent - small problem with silverfish - ughhhhh - in the flat.

    How safe / non-toxic are its other ingredients :
    KEROSINE - UNSPECIFIED - DISTILLATES (PETROLEUM), HYDROTREATED LIGHT 70-90%
    COCONUT DIETHANOLAMIDE - 1-10&
    2-BUTOXYETHANOL - 1-10%

    Cheers
