I'm hoping some suggestions will inspire me to clean.

Flash liquid (white with blue lid) for floors. Think it's flash bathroom. Their spray is what I use for the bathroom too, smells immense.

Dettol all in one cotton antibac spray, the disinfectant thingy you spray and leave for a few mins then wipe. I forgot it's full name.

Surf winter warmers wash stuff, I missed that this year as it wasn't in the local shops.

Fabulosa or zoflora fresh cotton for everything else. I love the smell of fresh washing.

I did try the fabulosa air freshener in fresh cotton but it literally just lasts seconds so never rebought that.

I do like fresh clean scents in general, I have a dettol smelling wax melt that I let burn sometimes too but it's so strong you only need a tiny square 😂

At a push I also enjoy twisted peppermint (fabulosa) and the lemon sherbert one too. I will at Christmas use their pine/minty/clean smelling ones too, though not the food scented ones as I don't like those.

Cillit bang did a foam bleach thing in a tin that I would spray liberally over the tiles in my bathroom and walk away and leave for an hour and then return and rinse off. It was amazing. Then they stopped doing it and only have a grease one in the same applicator which is no good!

I’m a big fan of Method products too! Especially the marble and granite cleaner and the rhubarb multi surface.

What kind of product is this please ?

Dishwashing detergent, Polly. Sometimes Aldi sells out of the orange fragrance one but they always have other fragrances in the Tandil bottles - $1.79 (Australia). Sorry, not sure of £ conversion. I guess any dishwasher detergent will probably do the same job added to the white vinegar - I just found the orange one smells very nice. We also use it added to a spray bottle of plain water to spray stains on clothes before going in the washing machine. Saves a motza on paying $5 - $6 a bottle for cleaners in the supermarket. Hope this helps, cheers!

If people like the Dettol smell Price's Open Window reed diffuser (at Waitrose for £6.65 for 100ml atm) remind me of that - just got one and it is a very similar fresh smell.

I love M&S ranges of cleaning products. They smell amazing.

HaystackHair · 21/05/2024 09:48

I bought some M&S last night and have to say that I am disappointed. The scent was just a bit faint and didn't last.

@HaystackHair that is annoying!

What did you get?

For anyone who is after the flash French soap, home bargains had loads of it today for £2.49

Yes, I saw them in Tesco as well today.

Off the back of this thread I've so far bought Method custard cream (lovely) and Fabulosa unicorn dust which smells like Parma violets and is so much nicer (and cheaper) than Zoflora.

Almond and sweet orange. It smelt a bit artificial to me, but it may grow on me.

Any of their floor cleaners... you wont believe what they bring up yuk.
For detergent i like the talco range. I also like their orange range and the alvi disinfectants.

Thank you!
