What can I use Milton tablets for?

I have a box of Milton tablets left from when I sterilised my DD bottles. It says on the from and FOR HOME.

Where can I use these? I've just put one down the loo, I don 't know why it seemed like a good idea:rotfl:
Capital one was £1000.00 now £0.00:j
Barclaycard was £250.00 now £190. 00
Asda credit card was £500.00 now £0.00:j
Aim to be credit card free by December 2012... Mostly done

    i keep our tooth brushes in a glass with half a milton tablet (and water) in, in the bathroom cupboard,
    anal i know, but having them hanging in the bathroom makes me shudder
    everyone closes the lid to flush the toilet in our house, but visitors may not
    and its alarming how far germs fly from flushing the toilet with the lid open

    I use them to sterilise jam jars when I'm making jam and marmalade.

    Used in our house for sterilizing sports drinks bottles, flasks, jam jars for preserves, wine bottles for home made wine.

    Never used it for socks, use napisan for that and anything else that goes in the washer.

    Save your cleaning squirty bottles and refill with diluted Milton to sterilise work surfaces. You should save a fortune and of course, you're doing your bit for the environment as well by reusing and filling the bottle.
