What are your Kleeneze recommendations?

I've just had a catalogue put through the door. Not seen one of these for years.

I've heard that there are several products that sre similar to those from Lakeland, but at a fraction of the price.

What would you advise me to buy, and what to avoid

Hi,

I worked briefly as a distributor over the summer and can advise against the 'bra balls'... They have some kind of design error that makes them open up in the washing machine - really helpful huh?? :rolleyes: Also some of the clothes airers (the ones with pegs) have quite flimsy fittings so would not hold anything heavier than socks...

On the plus side, I believe most of the kitchen appliances are good quality and I came across one customer who swore by their storage boxes (the tupperware ones).

Hope that helps,

If the egg timer is like the ones at lakeland they are good. But do them slightly less than you want - if you know what I mean!

I can't say I find it particularly cheaper than Lakeland, but it has one or two items not available at Lakeland. I like the EasyIron mesh (about £2), which you place over fine fabrics, suits in order to iron without leaving shiny marks

I like the veg bags, my potato sack is my fave!

I have a bra thing that you put a bra in and zip it up, means I can wash my cheaper ones in the machine which saves on the hand washing. Ovenliner has saved me in a lot of elbow grease. I have some of their tubs, the air locking ones, I really like them aswell.

I tend to go a bit overboard when I order it's usually well over £30, gadget addict so much 'handy' stuff in there. I might treat myself to the stack and store tubs and lids thing next time I get a catalogue, I hate rummaging for lids and tubs.

As for the kitchen gadgets, I got a can opener because I was sick of buying cheap ones and them breaking just to try it, works well and much stronger than any other I have used. Jar and bottle opener (green flexible thing) is useless however.
