Opti- Free Replenish Solution
*WHAT IT DOES*
Opti-Free Replenish is a multi-purpose solution for disinfecting your contacts. It is suitable for silicone hydrogel and soft contact lenses.
The solution will clean, rinse and disinfect contacts of any protein (which your eyes produce naturally) or any dirt, dust or grime (for example make-up) which may get onto your lenses. The more protein present the quicker your lenses will wear. If you use this solution daily it will remove and loosen the daily build up of protein deposits your eye produces. This will leave the lenses fresher and more comfortable to wear. Any lens deposits will be removed leaving clearer vision.
It will also recondition your lenses to help retain surface moisture giving more comfort when the surface moisture is low, this is when it feels like your contacts ...
I bought my Moulinex hand-mixer around five years ago, for about £10. Previously I had had larger mixers, the kind that come with a stand and a bowl. However I had found some distinct disadvantages with this type of mixer: for one thing, they either take up a great deal of space on the kitchen work surfaces, or get packed away in a cupboard and then it's a nuisance to get them out. Then there's the problem that only one bowl (that supplied with the mixer) will fit the base, so if I wanted to mix two or three things in separate bowls, I had to keep decanting what was already mixed, and cleaning the bowl out. And if the bowl breaks, the mixer becomes useless, unless you can find a replacement. With some mixers it's possible to remove the main mechanism from the stand, and use it as a hand-held one, but I never found that this worked ...
Advantages: Simple to use, value for money. Disadvantages: can omly take small quantities.
I have owned a moulinex multi moulinette (AT71) for several years and would say it was the most useful kitchen gadget I have ever owned. It is small compact gadget which takes very little space. I use it for all my chopping and blending jobs when preparing food. It holds up to 0.5 litre of fluid, up to 16oz dry ingredients or aprox 2 cups. Great for making breadcrumbs for your gratins, chopping vegetables, making savoury spreads,pureeing fruit, blending soup or I even use mine for grating cheese! It is extremely simple to use literally a press of a button, and as all ingredients are in a sealed bowl there is no mess from splashing etc.. It is easy to clean afterwards as all 3 parts (except for the electrical unit!) can be dishwashed or immersed in warm soapy water for cleaning.
I have recently replaced my multi moulinette for around £30 ...
