Hi,

I am in the Skegness/Boston area of Lincolnshire and my 2 stockists of this have now stopped stocking it. So if anyone could help me by telling me where I can buy some locally (Elbow Grease)I would be most grateful.

Thank you in advance, Arthur.
Loving the dtd thread. x

    Own brand 'red bull' is a cheaper alternative.

    I have got a rocking horse, and can bag up his droppings if that is any good.

    Thank you both for your replies, however I am genuinely looking for the cleaning product called Elbow grease.

    OP, this is brilliant stuff. I get mine from our local (sorry, I`m in Wales so that`s not much help to you) ironmonger/general store, but they also sell it in Poundland/ Poundshop and my daughter got some in Home Bargains. They also sell it on Amazon but it`s nearly 3 quid a bottle! Would be worth it as a last resort, IMHO, but hope it won`t come to that.
    Have you asked your local suppliers WHY they don`t stock it anymore?
