Full review

I only bought this particular one because it is currently available with 66% extra free (subject to availabilty). This means that you get 1250ml for the same price as 750ml - 58p. I thought that for the price it was worth giving it a try.

It is possible to buy bleach for less than this but in my experience they are usually very thin and aren't as effective in heavy duty areas such as toilets and drains.

Kwik Save bleach appears to come in 3 'fragrances' - if that's the correct terminology! - original, citrus and alpine. This review is specifically about the alpine one. It is in a vivid green bottle with a red, green and white label on the front. At this point in time it is easy to find in the promotional areas at the end of an aisle within the store.

I bought the bleach yesterday but it wasn't until I came to use it today that I realised it doesn't have a child safety top. I thought that these were standard on products such as this but obviously not. The top has a long, narrow spout with 'press' at the base. When you press the base it raises the nozzle slightly. I still found it necessary to use my thumb to lift it completely but this method is also recommended on the bottle.

For a budget product, the thickness is quite good and the fragrance is acceptable. There is indeed a hint of pine and it's not too overpowering. Cleaning wise I am extremely inpressed. The bottle states that it has a 'long-lasting' germ kill protection so that is fine by me also.

It is suitable for use neat in toilets, outside drains and sinks and can also be used diluted on work surfaces, basins and in cold bleaching.

As with all bleach it is irritating to eyes and skin and should not be used in conjunction with other products as dangerous gases my be released.
