Donlt frequent B & M  or Home Bargains.

Donlt have Ocado or Morrisons.

Not a member of Costco.

ok.     
Odd though, given the dozens of competitions over the last 2 years on MSE to win their products, not to mention the recommendations all across the forums for their different products.

+1 to this.

I've been a member of MSE for over 15 years and have never looked at the 'competitions' board.
And I've never read any recommendations for their products.
Hence why I thought it was a fashion brand.

Not odd at all.

Does Mrs Hinch use this make? I only really trust her on cleaning products these days.

I couldn't pick her out of a lineup.  Never seen any of her content so have no idea.  I purely bought it originally because the disinfectant was a much nicer scent than standard Zoflora.

Isn't the item you want available in the major high street stores?
Or is it substantially cheaper online?

It is, but it’s very hit and miss as to whether you can get it. It’s mostly the degreaser I was after, it’s excellent on induction hobs, it’s sold in the range but isn’t always in stock so rather than hunting around I’d figured it was easier to just stock up my cupboard with that and some of the disinfectants and use the free shipping over £15. 

I’ve had no response to any of my emails, they have ignored my PayPal case and this morning I’ve had an email from Evril to say they are expecting my parcel.  Hopefully it will all be there, but I shan’t be repeating that exercise again.

Weird world we live in - a cleaning spray is a cleaning spray is a cleaning spray, as long as it works.  The active parts of most household cleaners are identical, chemically speaking, so the only choice one really gets is colour and variant of artificial smell.  Certain cheaper ones work better than bourgeoise eco-cleaners as they have more of the actual cleaning agent in.  If one isn't in the shop, just buy another make!

From experience:

Stardrops - reasonable, occasionally mediocre
Mr Muscle - good
Sainsbury's own brand - surprisingly good and cheap
Method - good but probably overpriced
Flash - good
Hagesan HG professional stuff - the daddy.  Overkill for regular domestic use, but perfect for a one off clean when moving in etc.  

Disinfectant?  Dettol or similar.  I shall opine that pine is the only fragrance one needs if one is pining for freshness.  Has spruced up anything I've used it on.*

*these puns are terrible; it's a fir cop, guv'nor
