Purdey and Figg, has anyone tried it.

Thanks, Mollygo

Targeted cleaning was a particular focus. For a hygienic clean, products need to be labelled as anti-bacterial or kills germs and they should be used where food is prepared in kitchens. Anti bacterial sprays should be left on chopping board and preparation area for at least 5 minutes to hygienically clean the area as spray and quick wipe is not effective.
Natural products may be good degreasers but for those special areas such as toilets and specific kitchen areas it should be anti bacterial product.

shoppinggirl are they that bad? I don't use things like this as they are not antibacterial

I love Sliced Bread- it's so informative and often the investigations come up with surprising results!

P&F is not marketed as a loo cleaner though. I use it instead of Pledge etc in the sitting room and bedrooms, and to wipe crumbs off counters in the kitchen, to clean cupboard doors etc. Similarly in the bathroom it is used on glass, window ledges, taps and so on.

For cutting surfaces and loo cleaning I use bleach-based products.

I thought almost everyone hated artificial smells.

I thought almost everyone hated artificial smells.

We are constantly encouraged to use them on TV ads-air fresheners, fabric softeners, scented diffusers, the more expensive the better, because our houses are at risk of not smelling nice without them. They’re mostly advertised as ‘natural’ smells and non toxic. Not sure how that fits in with antibacterial needs.

I don’t usually bother, but I do love Wax Lyrical or M&S Frankincense and Myrrh at Christmas and I have some scented oil that I drip on my Christmas wreath in the porch-I bought it at a Christmas market and it has lasted for ages.

I was sucked into P&F via Facebook. I think it was half price.

The pack contained the brown glass bottle, 4 bottles of cleaner and two good quality microfibre cloths with Purdey and Figg embroidered on them.

I only use it in the bathroom as I like the smell. It smells expensive and a bit different to the usual stuff. I clean the bathroom almost daily so I couldn't say how effective it is on proper dirt or grease.

I am a bit worried about dropping the glass bottle.

I also was automatically subscribed when I ordered but I cancelled it when the order arrived.

Quite a few of the cleaning brands are doing concentrated small bottles or plastic pouches.

I used to end up with loads of different bottles of cleaning products under the sink. I think they are basically all the same apart from the smell or the ones with bleach. Apart from P&F, I only buy multi purpose cleaner now.

I think these are natural.

Yes. I like the fragrances. Citrus being my favourite.

Here’s Sliced Bread ( cleaners)

All these smells or fragrances, depending how much you pay, I sometimes have an allergic reaction to them.. These chemicals enter everyone’s lungs and then could enter the bloodstream having a bad affect on health.

I don’t like many of these smells, especially things like a loo cleaner that’s strawberry-scented. Why would I want to associate strawberries with lavatories??

Some of them affect my chest and make it tight and difficult to breath. I’ve found an unscented cleaner from M&S in their Sensitive range and that’s good. I also use their Sensitive non-bio washing liquid as Dh has reactive skin. Don’t use fabric softener at all.

Yes, I do, which is why I prefer the P&F ones.

I don't like coloured loo cleaners. The pink/red ones make me worry someone is ill and bleeding, and the yellow ones look like the loo hasn't been flushed. If they have to have a colour, I go for green or blue, in the manner of the ads, as there are no bodily fluids they could be masking.

Yes, point taken, and my apologies.
They do contain only natural ingredients.

I don't like the coloured loo cleaners either.

I use the Bloo bleach blocks. The white ones don't colour the water.

Aren't they natural, using organic ingredients and essential oils?

I haven't tried them but I use essential oils sometimes, just wiped round in the conservatory with water with a few drops of geranium and tea tree essential oils to try to keep spiders away. I thi k citrus is the best but I'd run out.

So do you avoid flowers?

My daughter in law loves them. She said someone described them to her as middle class Zoflora!

No, but what is it?

I've been using it for about 6 months, it's a great product, I use it for mirrors, windows, surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen, and general cleaning round the house. I do subscribe but just paused ny next delivery as I've got enough. That was e easy to do . You can't blame the owners for marketing heavily, it's a very competitive marketplace ( household cleaning), but it's great quality and smells lovely

Never heard of it. Got excited for a bit - thought it was a cocktail.

I also herd the radio programme. Products sound very interesting but don't like any sort of subscription. If products are that good then why the need to tie people into continuity.

Yes MissAdventure we do, so no plug ins, no scented candles, a damp cloth, bicarbonate or vinegar solve most of our household cleaning needs. I do use HG for limescale, it doesn’t smell.
Fresh lemons heated can disperse persistent cooking smells.
