Purdey and Figg, has anyone tried it.

Had to look it up as I’d never heard of it. I’ll read the comments with interest to see opinions.
I wonder if I’ll be bombarded with adverts now I’ve looked it up.

It keeps appearing on You Tube and I am finding myself being sucked in!

I use it for kitchen, utility and bathrooms, worth every penny.

Beautiful fragrances, not chemically or artificial

Glass spray bottles with small bottles to dilute with water.

I've used it for ages. It's easy to store, as you get little bottles that you dilute with water when a bottle runs out, so the cupboard under the sink isn't filled with plastic bottles. The scents are lovely, and long-lasting, and the counter clean can be used all over the house. I have a different set for the bathroom, which I love too - lemongrass and something.

I too was bombarded with adverts from them so decided to order and see if their products were as good as they claimed. However, before I clicked the 'pay' button I decided to take a quick look at the feedback and because of that, I decided not to proceed.

Doodledog yep I have the lemongrass one, it reminds me of my favourite hotel room in the whole wide world 🩷

Yes I have the kitchen one and the bathroom one. I really like it.

Yes I have it, bottles aren’t overly large, does smell nice but house doesn’t like a spar unfortunately

Shangri-La?

They want you to sign up for a subscription, but I don't do that. You can cancel as soon as the items arrive, and just order as and when - it's easy to do and there are no questions asked.

shoppinggirl I too have just taken a look at their reviews. I think I’ll wait.

I don't get it. My under-sink cupboard has no spray cleaners. It's just a marketing ploy. Not buying it.

I don’t subscribe, just order as and when.

DiL has a subscription.

The room is called Lemongrass at a rather famous French chefs Country House Hotel

The subscription model is about marketing, but the products are just products . If you don't subscribe, it's no different from buying any other products, but the bottles are small, and the scents (IMO) are much nicer than most.

I love it but you have to subscribe, I am sick of subscriptions!

You can buy Purdy & Fig from Amazon, no subscription required.

I was listening to Radio 4 Sliced Bread today and the topic was spray cleaners, which products are best for the kitchen and bathrooms etc. It was so interesting listening to Dr Sally Bloomfield from the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene. I’m sure Gransnetters would enjoy this thirty minute programme and benefit from her no nonsense approach to cleaning products. I would suggest a listen before going down the Purdy and Figg route. 👍

I use it as I love the scents

As I said upthread, you can cancel the subscription as soon as the items arrive. It is very easy to do and there are no questions asked.

I didn't realise you could buy it on Amazon too.

Would the smell of the citrus deter spiders, I wonder?

I often think I live in a different universe to most gransnetters
I ve never heard of it

I often listen to Sliced Bread. It’s informative without being boring. I’ll have to catch up on today’s programme.

Listened to it on BBC sounds. It made it clear about cleaning, disinfecting and smelling nice.

Could you summarise what it said?

I’d have to listen to it again to summarise it properly but this is what I remember.
Know the difference between cleaning and disinfecting with antibacterial sprays.

They talked about the importance of clearing up (mess, dog poo etc) before you start to disinfect places where they were.

The dangers of using a cloth or sponge to wipe surfaces down if you don’t clean the cloth afterwards (top layer of the dishwasher is good).

Bleach meant for the toilet isn’t really suitable neat for kitchen surfaces.
I was surprised by the fact that, while she agreed that gloves were a good idea with strong cleaners, she didn’t always bother.

Vinegar, bicarbonate of soda etc all came in for a mention.
Buying cleaners that you dilute yourself also got a quick mention. The only reference to Purdue and Figg that I recall was in a list of other cleaners.

There was a mention of how people preferred to buy more expensive things because they smelled nicer than supermarket own brands but I don’t recall any of them saying they worked better.
Just go to BBC Sounds and type in Sliced Bread and you can choose the episodes you want.
