Flylady kit?

I read the Flylady posts on here and also receive emails from the Flylady websites and it continually mentions purple rags, rubba scrubbed etc. Having looked at the Flylady shop the prices are not very moneysaving! What are these magically purple rags? Are they just microfibre cloths?

What do you have in your Flylady kits?

    I love the flylady purple rags, use them for everything - so much better than any other microfibre cloths I have tried. Also love the water bottles, rubba scrubba and toilet brush. Well worth the money.

    If you have a ninety-nine p store, look in the pet section and you will find a Ru88a Scru88a. Albeit in green, but it's the same thing.

    The same shop also has a fair imitation of the mitt thingy, and the purple rags are just hyped up microfibre cloths....again, aforementioned shops have them.

    W1lk0s have a great selection of floor mop-type things, and they have metal water bottles, too.

    Really, you're paying mostly for a name and a popular colour....if you don't mind varying colours then havea decko in the cheapie shops round by you and you'll be ableto pick up generic versions of whatever you want for a fraction of the cost :)

    Lakeland sell the rubba scrubba (£3.99) and rubba sweeper (£11.99).

    One of the Organised Mum calenders are very similar to the Flylady calender.

    I didn't mind the Flylady prices so much but the cost of shipping was expensive and took several months to arrive. I also had to pay duty to Customs.
