Do you know if this is available in the Middle East?
As per my previous posts, We have many a debate down the pub and at kick-boxing class about the lack of quality cleaning products in the UAE.
Im hoping that perhaps they may be available, but rebranded for this market (and as such adding to my confusion). I will google and keep you posted as to how my detergent adventure pans out !!

Re: Laundry
Because its slightly related, i thought that i'd post this.
Our trusty HOTPOINT washing machie has finally started to play up. I'm not complaining , we've had 8 years out of it. However, trying to get an Aussie washing machine guy come and repair it is proving fruitless.
Basically they don't want to know, cause its a UK built machine. Something to bear in mind for those of you who are just about to come over!!!!
Whats annoying is that it's only a leak, but with all the electrics flying around, the missus is not too happy. I've had a good go myself at it, but without a manual, and access to proper spare parts its hard work. Fixing a leak, i turned up at the local plumbing shop with an o-ring to replace, and the reply was, "sorry mate, go and visit the boat or pool shop, we've nothing like that!!!!!"
Looks like I'm going (reluctantly) shopping! Oh, my wife has a smile on her face

On days when you don't have washing to do, you can throw a nice crisp sheet over it, and hey presto you have a ready made gazebo.

Re: Laundry
Hi JD ... I just done a bit of research on Oxydoyl ...and amazingly my mum used it years ago before she changed to Ariel ...
But interestly it originally introduced in 1927, Oxydol was Procter & Gamble's first laundry detergent. From its start Oxydol paved the way in marketing techniques, from door-to-door sampling to metal "coin" coupons (later to be replaced with paper) to "slice of life" magazine cartoon ads. It was Oxydol that put the soap in "soap opera" when it created the genre through its sponsorship of the radio show "Ma Perkins" in 1933.
I dont know its availability worldwide ..its no longer owned by P&G but by
http://www.redoxbrands.com/ an email to them may help ...

If you wish i can give the address of some hotpoint forums, or indeed there many even be some ex-hotpoint washing machine repair men who have emigrated to Australia.
Good luck in your hunt my friend!

I would recommend 'Fluffy - Soft as a baby's botty'.
As a nurse, I would also recommend that you get someone to massage Zinc and Castor oil into the affected area daily

I have a strict ethical code and cannot use any cosmetics or cleaners if they are tested on animals.
Do you know if the makers of "Fluffy" participate in humane product testing or not ??
Thanks in advance
