Is Purdy and Fig really the best one?

I really hope not as some of their reviews are awful.

Spray bottle - washing up liquid, white vinegar, Zoflora. Cheaper too!

Half water, half white vinegar, teaspoon of washing up liquid.

Take a look at Nancy Birtwistle for green cleaning.

Purdy and figg is crap. White vinegar genuinely does a better job.

Look up Nancy Birtwhistle. She has lots of non toxic ways of cleaning and apparently better than p and f. I'm waiting for her new book and I will make a batch

This. I add a few drops of eucalyptus, mint or pine essential oils. Works really well.

I use Bio-D, which is sterilising in neat form or a good general cleaning spray in diluted form. Apparently it is good for being non toxic and for not polluting the water once it is down the drain.

I’m going to ask a really silly question-is white vinegar the same thing as white wine vinegar? As I’d love to make my own cleaning spray but don’t want my house to smell like a chip shop!

White vinegar is in the cleaning aisle.

The smell dissipates very quickly.

Is method any good? I've been buying it when on offer.
