bleach bottle tops

I do as Yogagran, once the initial open is done I don't click it back on, I just close it.

Same here, once the wretched top has been opened, it stays open. Family members know the bleach top won't be screwed and clicked back on, so move it with care. Well, in truth, I don't suppose any of them handle it much, at all. No one else who lives here, seems to bleach cloths and since I retired, I seem to have slowly assumed the role of toilet fairy…..

Been mentioned above but Lakeland`s Jarkey is a little gem

Nutcrackers are my weapon of choice too for bleach type tops. But is there a safe way of removing the white seals inside plastic milk bottles tops? If they don't come off easily I stab them with a veggie knife and slice - but there must be a better way.

DS2's friend is one of the statistics that ensured bleach bottle top are childproof. He drank a small amount and now has a massive speech impediment.

yes kittylester, you're right of course to remind us why bleach bottle caps are difficult to remove

No, Nfk, I think you're stuck with the knife. I can't get a decent grip on the thing you need to pull to get the seal off.

Different brands have different tabs, some have no tab at all and that's when it gets a vicious stabbing. Even the ones that leak into the carrier bags are almost impossible to get off, I don't know how they do it.

So glad its not just me that cannot open bleach bottles, I too tend to wait for someone of the male persuasion to open them for me!

I'm glad you've resurrected this thread, TinaB57. I couldn't see the problem when it first appeared, but seem to have lost my wrist strength/coordination since. I would never put a bottle of bleach back on the shelf (even my very high one) without "locking" it again, so might have to buy me some nutcrackers, or give up cleaning

Nfk - I also sometimes use a small knife to break the seal in the milk bottle. On occasion I've had its tab break off.
I can open a sardine tin but can't always pull the metal right back. Again a small knife is used to dig out the sardines.
