Dettol...any alternative?
OK, I know this is quite sad, but does anyone know of a worthy alernative to Dettol here?
Couldn't find it at the local supermarket and was wondering whether it's worth looking elsewhere or whether anyone knows a good substitute.

If you're sad, so am I - I've looked all over to find a substitute for Dettol, but haven't been able to find anything similar here. Maybe there's something by prescription from the doctor ? I wonder! That could figure - then they'd charge an arm and a leg for it.

Re: Dettol...any alternative?
I don't use the normal Dettol, but they always seem to have that in the Brit shop here. What I really miss is the Dettol Antibacterial surface cleanser ( http://www.dettol.co.uk/sf_kitchen.shtml ) that I used at home. I loved that stuff so much, you could use it on surfaces & not have to wash it off after, you could eat right off it, so it was safe to use on baby's high chair etc. It was a God send, but now I have to use a crap substitute that you have to rinse off after, so annoying.
