Polierpantoffeln - even the name makes me roar with laughter.
Then I give you: How to hide those unsightly Fairy bottles
And finally, courtesy of BlatherKite's MIL who does not like to see her ugly hoover in the corner.
Does anyone else have any household gadgets that I could add to my collection?

Mme Lindt
clearly the advertisers think that German housewives spend all their time cleaning 
They may well do!
I just wish you could get proper old-fashioned dusters here, though. Forget the pink polishing slippers (makes mental note to pop into nearest branch of Tchibo and see if they are available in different sizes....)

Ha ha ha ha - Polierpantoffeln....haven't heard or seen the word Pantoffeln since I lived in germany.
That's really tickled me now

My Nan use to crochet toilet roll covers, it was a doll, slightly smaller than a Barbie, with a very wide dress, you would stick the legs in the middle of the toilet roll and pull the dress over to cover the paper. I never understood why. The best, which every home should have, was the crocheted swan soap cover. Not very practical but looked very fetching in the downstairs loo, very classy

I'm imagining my hoover with one of those covers turning into a dalek like thing and getting me in the night.
I hate you MmeLindt
