    I will certainly be interested to see how you get on with the P&F. I must admit I’ve been tempted by the idea of a lingering fragrance around the house. I’ve read mixed reviews. We’ll let you take one for the team and test it out 🤣

    Have a fabulous week off 😊

    I promise I’ll report back 😅 Sadly, it may take a while to get here by carrier pigeon…or however they have shipped it 😬

    I was always tempted by the adverts, but went with Neat instead.

    It shows how scummy I am when I have no idea what you are all talking about :D:D

    I don’t like the subscription either @beanielou….they have one chance to impress me 😬
    i haven’t heard of neat @redofromstart. Is it any good?
    I’m an advertisers dream @jwil, that’s how they hooked me…I’m certainly no housewife!

    I am a very sad person who makes every effort to block adverts on social media so I don't see them.  If I can't see it, I don't buy it!  I'm mostly likely to go down a rabbit hole from googling what people talk about on here :D

    I do that too @jwil and ruthlessly unsubscribe from things.

    @WinterWarrior if you look on Tesco and search Neat then you should be able to see most of their products. Similar to P&F but metal spray bottles which is better for clumsy me. The violet shower spray is my favourite. We also have the foaming hand wash which is reasonable on offer and has a nice dispenser.

    @KajiKita I was seduced by the idea of nice smelling cleaning stuff with refillable (metal) spray bottles. The little refill bottles are glass. Readily available in stupidmarket and regularly on offer.  

    Mr Redo really likes the metal spray bottles for his projects so I ended up buying some spares for him too.
