Where would you buy larger quantities for cleaning?

[weirdbird]

Of things like Bicarb of Soda and White Vinegar because the tiny packet / bottles you buy in the supermarket for cooking just dont last if you want to clean with them...

Can anyone help??

I think expatinscotland has some links...hope she sees this

maybe catering places -makro or the like?

You need to go to Costco (or Makro) I find Costco better. You have to buy a card in order to shop there and to get one you have to be a business user or a professional of some sort. They sell a lot of cleaning products in catering size and on most of them you will save quite a bit of money, it also cuts down on a lot of packaging. They also sell lots of food stuffs in catering size and am sure that they do vinegar, not sure about bicarb though.

How much are the cards?

Bump for expat.

Cards are 25 pounds, I think, and there is a list of people who are elegible to join, although mine has never seemed strict about asking for ID when I've joined / renewed my menbership. I think if you've got ID or a payslip from any job at all they'll let you join. Partner joins free.

Thought I'd bump again for expat...I'm interested in this too!

Bumpity bump bump bump

Is this thread any use to you?

Yay - thanks Mrsdarcy - that's the thread I was thinking of with expat on it.

Hmm I wonder if there is a chinese mini mart near me, I doubt it
