To be honest, I haven't drunk it since I was about 17...and that was quite a few years ago, but it was cr@p then.....

I made the mistake of assuming when he said he liked English "beer", he meant "bitter", which would have made him only the 3rd American I've ever met that admitted to it!

After trying every toilet roll over here, we decided that White Cloud was the best. I can only get it at Walmart so I go at 8.00am when the store is empty and bulk buy.

I use Pinesol floor cleaner and have to put up with dettol smell for a couple of hours. The smell of dettol always reminds me of cleaning up sick.

Not found a decent washing powder/liquid yet. Whenever anyone comes over from England they have to bring me as many boxes of Fairy tablets as they can fit in their luggage. I use All if I have no Fairy because it seems to be the only one that doesn't bring one of us out in a rash. It doesn't get the clothes really clean though.

Lysol toilet cleaner is about the best and I've tried a few.

Just watched Crash there.
Has anyone else seen it ??
Not bad - a bit contrived and clunky in parts, but not bad though hardly up to oscar standard imo.
Makes interesting viewing for someone who just moved to the country 8 months ago - seems like its not just me and a few other wierdos on here afterall.

For your bathroom sinks and tiles - http://www.lysol.com/images/grouping...omcleaners.jpg

Lysol Tub-n-Tile but not the squirt bottle. The foam one in the round can is what you should get, the other one is useless. The foam is fantastic. Spray it around, let it sit for a few mins, then wipe off with a paper towel. It cleans like a breeze.

For laundry, can't beat Gain or Tide, but use powder preferably, as the liquids don't work as well. Unfortunately, if you don't have a front-loader with extra heating element in there, you'll have to add bleach to all your whites, or Clorox Bleach for colors to the others. I've found over the years, that adding some Borax (20 Mule Team is the brand name) or Oxyclean to the wash, helps with cleaning. If you have stubborn stains, use Shout or leave in Oxyclean overnight.

Dishwasher - Cascade powder or liquid or tablets is great (remember you don't add salt heehee) and some Jetdry once a month keeps everything running smoothly.

Hand dishwashing. Most are okay. I've been using that Dawn Foam one and it is great. Ajax, whatever.

Barkeepers friend/Ajax powder = VIM.

Soft Scrub with BLEACH not lemon or 409 or Tilex are great kitchen cleaners.

You should always work with open windows and use gloves when cleaning as the chemicals are so blooming toxic.

If you can, rather buy 'green' (organic cleaners probably available in your health store)

Nursing a touch of bronchitis and posting on toilet cleaners and toilet paper.

I saw it in Uk before I came here think it shows an interesting view from different perspectives think all the stars gave it the oscar worthiness maybe

Re: What Brand Do You Use?
 

Well youve given me plenty to think about :) life may be dull but it wont be dirty ... not sure if thats a good thing ;)

Re: What Brand Do You Use?
 

Nah, my 'standard' post to this question. In South Africa we had 3 cleaners.

1. Vim
2. Handy Andy
3. Dettol.

When I arrived here and walked into the store the first time, I thought I was going to die. Didn't have a CLUE as to what to buy.

Made for interesting shopping trips :D

Re: What Brand Do You Use?
 

Not all Targets sell No.7 products, I was so excited when I heard they would, only to find out not in our Area. I do use Spray n wash stain stick on his collars & cuffs, I will say thats not bad :)

Re: What Brand Do You Use?
 

The bog roll for me is Charmin' (the one with bears).

For facial tissue, I prefer Puffs over Kleenex. My rats like (eating) Puffs tissues :rolleyes:

Soft Scrub with Lemon is good for kitchen surfaces. It works but I have to rinse twice to remove residue off the surface.

I buy Cascade liquid for the dishwasher. I also buy Costco's version of Cascade (it's in a green bottle too). I never use that stuff that makes your dishwasher load all squeeky clean.

Charmin' bog roll...

Clorox or anything with bleach/ammonia...nasty cleaning stuff...cheap git so wouldn't listen to me...as for bog, there is a shite thing with a neck, nothing like that duck stuff though...best bet are those bog tablets, but if your septic tanker, they ain't so great for them.

make up, your on your own...those that garnia? stuff in the little green bottles, $7 a shot so I should f'ing remember the name :D

use miracle whip, low fat for salad cream with a splash of lime juice...
