For a Sparkling Bathroom

Advantages: cleans well, makes light work of dirt, CHEAP
Disadvantages: Leaves a smell on hands after use

...When I got to the checkout on my last shopping trip I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to get my usual multi purpose wipes so asked hubby to go and grab a packet. Now I have been using the same brand for a very long time but for some reason hubby could not remember which ones they were and came back with these ones. I did let him off though as I did need them for the bathroom and decided I would try these instead. ~~THE PACKET~~ The wipes come in a flat packet which is very similar to a packet of baby wipes. It is blue in colour and has the product name at the top with a picture of a shiny bathroom and under this is a red rectangle which contains the claims that these wipes will remove soap scum and control the build up of lime scale. The back of the packet has a white rectangle down the left hand side which has all...

Review of Tesco Bathroom Wipes

From Milan to the Bathroom Cabinets of Burnley

Advantages: Smells divine, lasts all day, posh looking bottle.
Disadvantages: Expensive unless you can hunt down a bargain bottle.

...taking pride of place on my bathroom shelf. I still keep sniffing myself to remind me how gorgeous it smells. So if you prefer light floral perfumes to heavy oriental scents, then give this a squirt when you spot it on the shop shelf and see if you like it. ******************************************************************** ******* Also published on Dooyoo and Ciao.com...

Review of Juicy Couture Eau De Parfum

Bathroom Mousse

Advantages: Works well with a little scrubbing
Disadvantages: Use a lot at once

...I bought this on recommendation from a friend and colleague, who uses it for cleaning at work as well as at home. She said it does the job where other cleaners are just not good enough, so I promptly went out and bought some. I paid £1.05 in Tesco, which I thought was surprisingly cheap for a big name brand like Cif. Cif claim that this bathroom mousse gives brilliant results with minimum effort. You just need to spray the mousse on, leave it 5-10 minutes, and rinse it off. It's suitable for use on plastic, enamel and chrome surfaces. The mousse comes in a tall cylindrical can with a see-through lime green domes lid. The top has the usual mousse-can spray, with a button at one side of the nozzle, which you just press down and out squirts the mousse. It's really easy to use and to direct the spray where you want it. It's easy...

HENSVIK changing table/cabinet - Great idea!

Advantages: Double use as a cabinet and baby changing table, inexpensive, easy to assemble
Disadvantages: Flaking paint on the changing table after a while

...I bought the Hensvik changing table/cabinet designed by Carina Bengs a couple of years ago from IKEA for £85. I was expecting my second baby and loved the idea of the double use in this piece of furniture. First, it can be used as a changing table for your baby and when one is no longer required, the changing shelf can be removed and a second book shelf can be easily fitted into a slot above and there you go: you have a lovely looking book cabinet. The assembly was fairly simple. The instructions came in true IKEA style with pictures but the assembly was easily manageable with those. The Allen key and all screws were included, so you can unwrap, assemble and use. The assembled size measures as follows: Width: 75 cm Depth: 41 cm Height: 161 cm The item has a very good size and fits for example in my house into an alcove...

Movies For Halloween - The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari

Advantages: One of those "greatest film ever" regulars, and with good reason.
Disadvantages: None.

...There is something inherently eerie, otherworldly, about silent pictures. Whatever the merit of the film itself, the faint flickering of the frames (however good the restoration), the grain, the occasionally over-theatrical performances (I'm generalising horribly here, I know. There is nothing theatrical about many of the performances in, for example, Benjamin Christensen's masterpiece Haxan), even the nature of the musical soundtrack, disembodied and carrying on with little synchronisation with movements, actions onscreen... Eerie, yes. And how much more so when these elements are wrapped around a picture already reeking of the uncanny? A picture, perhaps, like Robert Weine's 1919 The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a masterpiece. Routinely propping up the top end of Best Films Ever Made lists, it is...

Bathroom Wonder Wipes

Advantages: Easy to use, Very effective, Good value.
Disadvantages: Not to widely available, yet.

...to tell you though, that I have used these wipes on everything in my bathroom, even the two wooden cabinets I have in there, and everything is fine. These wipes are not flushable, so please do not try to flush them away. Throw them away, so as you do not block your drains. *************************PRICE************************ All you bargain hunters out there will love this. This product cost me £1. I bought them from the pound shop in Grimsby. They have a wide range of duzzit products and I have tried and tested all of them. If you do not have a pound shop, in your area, I have been informed that some supermarkets sell this brand. I have yet to see this for myself but it is worth keeping your eyes open. *************************AMOUNT*********************** You will be pleased to hear that for £1, you will be investing...

Review of Duzzit Bathroom Wipes

What's In Your Bathroom?

Advantages: Great rhyming text and humorous illustrations
Disadvantages: Too Short!!

...This is a brilliant humorous tale of what really happens in the bathroom at night when all of the creepy-crawlies come out to play! ~ The story ~ It begins with a 'human' peeping in to the darkened bathroom and all he/ she could see were lots and lots of yellow eyes peering back at him / her. 'When I peeped around the bathroom door. I couldn't believe the things I saw.....' And so begins a humorous account of what the minibeasts in the bathroom are doing: ' A caterpillar was washing his hair with my shampoo - I don't think that's fair.' 'An earwig was using Dad's aftershave. A woodlouse saw me and started to wave.' It also includes a ladybird skiing down the bath, a beetle singing in the shower, a centipede giving itself a manicure, a spider bungee jumping from the sink and ants using the sink as a skating rink etc...

Review of Beetle in the Bathroom - Brian Moses

DolphinBathrooms

Advantages: They do it all for you
Disadvantages: Its expensive

...Firstly, we fancied a Dolphin Bathroom so we phoned and booked a home visit for a "designer". We got a cocky sales rep who thought we couldnt afford the bathroom and so couldnt be bothered to do the sale (we had just moved in and everywhere was a bit of a mess). So we phoned again and asked for another person to visit, this time we got a rather pleasant gent, who talked us through our purchase. He knew what he was talking about, and his sales technique was more of a gently push than all out pressure. It took about 2 hours. Anyway, within two weeks someone came to survey the property and ensure that what we wanted was actually feasible. That too took about 2 hours. The following week, the entire bathroom turned up - on a saturday. I mean everything, cabinets, bath, toilet, sink, tiles - all of it. After 3 weeks of having...

Review of Dolphin Bathrooms

Bathroom Fiasco

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Terrible customer service, shoddy workmanship

...We had been looking forward to having our new bathroom as the one in our recently purchased home looked like it had been there before the house was build in the sixties! We chose Dolphin as they are a well known company and we had had one of their showers in our previous house which served us well for nine years. However I would never ever use the company again. Detailing all of the problems we had would make for a longer read than War and Peace so I will summarise below: 1. 13 days without a bath or shower 2. 6 days without a functioning toilet 3. 4 days staying in all day waiting for fitters who did not turn up (including two days taken off work causing loss of earnings) 4. 2 days of raw sewage running down the outside of the house 5. Water coming through the ceiling below the bathroom 6. A floor to ceiling crack in a wall...

Review of Dolphin Bathrooms

DOLPHIN BATHROOM INSTALLATION

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: TOO MANY TO MENTION

...KITCHEN CEILING REPLACED AND REPAINTED, ALL THIS THREE DAYS BEFORE XMAS. THIS WASN'T REPAIRED UNTIL MID JANUARY AND THE BATHROOM HAD TO BE STRIPPED AND RE INSTALLED. THEY DO NOT PAY COMPENSATION ONLY GESTURES OF GOODWILL NOR WILL THEY ADMIT LIABILITY AS THE JOB IS CARRIED OUT BY SUBCONTRACTORS WHO SUBCONTRACT OTHERS (eg ELECTRICIANS ,PLASTERERS etc). ON COMPLETING OUR INSTALLATION OUR INITIAL CONTRACTOR STATED THAT THE GOODS USED BY DOLPHIN WERE VERY POOR QUALITY AND PRICED AT THE WER END OF THE MARKET. I WOULDN'T TOUCH THIS LOT WITH A BARGE POLE........STAY CLEAR...
