    I buy the HG range, I think they are brilliant.

    Anything I replace - I get HG now.

    I now use flash liquid (or equivalent store own brand), diluted in hot water and wipe down my cupboards, handles, worktops and hob with it, using a microfibre cloth. Then I use the same liquid to mop the tiled floor (after vacuuming/sweeping). I sometimes add more boiling water from the kettle prior to floor mopping.

    I found sprays smeared.

    Homebargains has Stardrops spray. I can't remember the price but less than 90p.
    It was the same price as the standard Stardrops.

    Nice one. We have a B&M and a Home Bargains in Hounslow, both opened fairly recently.

    Thanks Polly & PW

    Can that be used for making cakes as well? Apparently you need elbow grease for beating the cake mix. :D

    Yeah, I checked that out on mySupermarket as well. May have another look at some point.

    Incidentally, Tesco are currently selling Method All Purpose Spray Pink Grapefruit £3 any 3 for 2 (24.2p/100ml). Offer ends 26/04/2016.

    All other Method products appear to be on 3 for 2 offers at Tesco at the moment as well.
