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

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...

Relief in a Tissue!

Advantages: Help to unblock you nose
Disadvantages: Effects don't last so long

...My daughter suffers from asthma and allergies and at this time of year, always seems to have the cold. She also has problems with her sinuses and finds it extremely difficult to blow her nose or sniff!! With the result her nose constantly streams. She goes through an endless amount of paper tissues and always seems to have very sore and red looking skin around her nostrils. Having said all this she never lets it get her down and is always a very happy cheery child. We always keep a box of tissues in every room in the house, except the bathroom where she just uses the toilet roll and in the kitchen where she just uses the kitchen roll! We also keep a box in the car. She'd been up during the night a couple of times as she was finding it very difficult to breath, but come morning time she was her usual bright self again...

Review of Lotus Tissues with Olbas Oil

Another tissue review...

Advantages: Very good quality for the price, excellent value for money.
Disadvantages: None, unless you start comparing it to leading brands.

...These are a hidden gem at Tesco's, very undervalued and always placed on the bottom shelves - to make way for the other leading brands who have paid for the best shelf spaces, I guess... These are a box of tissues by Tesco's own value brand. They used to cost 36p for a box of 150 2-ply tissues. This already, without accounting for the quality of the tissues, is an absolute bargain in itself, excellent value for money. The quality of the tissues cannot really be compared with the leading brands. Not really as soft and as nicely folded, but in their own league, these Tesco Value tissues do hold their own. These are tough tissues, not that I mean they're like paper - when you hold one of these you will know what I mean - they don't tear easily and each individual ply is quite thick. When the tissue is torn there is hardly any dust...

Review of Tesco Value Facial Tissues

Luxuriously soft toilet tissue.

Advantages: Great packaging, embossed, 3 ply, lovely and soft, good price.
Disadvantages: None.

...I have tried cheap toilet rolls in the past and I have tried expensive ones and I think that generally you have to pay for good quality ones. The four toilet rolls comes packaged in a polythene bag and it has a nice blue & gold logo on the front of the packaging which makes it feel quite luxurious. By squeezing the packet I can tell that these are quite soft. These Quilted toilet rolls are made up of 3 plys of toilet tissue and this gives it a nice thick, quilted feel and it is very soft. I did find it to be softer and thicker than 2 ply tissues and it is embossed with a nice clover leaf pattern so it even looks nice in my bathroom! There are 165 sheets per roll which is a little less than most standard toilet rolls but then as these are thicker I did find that I needed to use less. When I have used cheap toilet roll in the past I...

Review of Quilted Velvet Toilet Tissue

Andrex Moist toilet tissues

Advantages: Not sure
Disadvantages: A few really

...led me to buy a pack of Andrex moist toilet tissue, I am sure I must have had a brainstorm or something! Andrex pack 42 moist wipes in a white plastic tub, the packaging has recently changed and the tub is sealed with a large blue label which bears the Andrex name and has that adorable puppy on it too. The lid needs to be kept firmly closed all of the time, the wipes are moisturised and if the lid gets loose the wipes dry out. Each wipe costs 3.3p, Andrex recommend that either one or two wipes are used at intervals to maintain freshness. The wipes have been dermatologically tested, so anyone with a sensitive bottom will be fine using these. The tub costs £1.91 and the refill pack costs £1.81...so not a lot to be saved there is there? First of all you have to decide where to put these in the bathroom, the tub obviously doesn`t fit...

Review of Andrex Andrex Moist Toilet Tissues

Tissue For Your Tush!

Advantages: very soft on your botty, good quality tissue.
Disadvantages: bit more expensive than the value loo roll

...I thought I would write a review on the best toilet tissue I have ever used. I know writing about toliet talk can be quite a sensitive and taboo subject so I promise I'll keep it to a minimum. First a bit of info about andrex itself, andrex toilet tissue and wipes are manufactured by the kimberley clark company which are also the manufacturers of many other well known brands such as kleenex, huggies nappies, kotex sanitary towels etc. They are a well known company that aims to provide a high standard of hygiene worldwide. The andrex toilet roll itself on average contains 2-ply tissue (for each sheet) it has an average of 241 sheets per roll and the average sheet size is 124X110mm. -----------------------The Toliet Test...

Review of Andrex Toilet Tissues

Aroma my arse!

Advantages: FSC certified, cheapish, your butt may smell a little sweeter?
Disadvantages: STINKS, your butt may smell like an old lady!

...are a international organisation that promotes "responsible stewardship of the world's forests." I didn't think there was much to gain from this site it all seems like the same thing is said in many different ways. Should you be interested take a peek www.fsc.org Apparently this is "through air dried for cushion softness", what difference that makes I don't know! It is made from well-managed forests, controlled sources and recycled wood or fibre. We took it home and as soon as I smelt it at home, through the plastic wrapping it was obvious that the scent was very strong and to me not that nice! I got him to sniff it and his reaction was yuck, old granny smell! It is the regular toilet tissue but it is on a scented cardboard tube. The idea is that the scent is let off in your bathroom making it smell nice, that way you don't need...

Review of Asda Shades Aroma ultra Soft Bathroom Tissue

This Kitten is Soft

Advantages: read op
Disadvantages: read op

...This is another special offer from OneStop. 9 rolls plus 3 free of Dixcel Kittensoft luxury bathroom tissue for £2.99. The only colour on offer was white so there was no choice. Dixcel Kittensoft is described as irresistibly soft and quilted with a new type of luxurious tissue that comprises of two layers. The first outside layer is soft and made of super soft fibres delicately cushioned so each layer is soft and gentle on the skin. The second inside layer is not just soft but has unique fibres making it strong. All this is intended to make the tissue soft and strong for a more comfortable and reassuring feel.

Review of Dixcel Kittensoft Luxury Bathroom Tissue

Bad Blow for Tesco Value Facial Tissues

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Nasty

...Tesco Value Tissues......... These Tesco Value Tissues were just one of the Tesco Value Range I decided to try out on my recent budget-shopping trip and I really think I should not have bothered. They come in at a little over the 50 pence margin, which is considerably cheaper than the rivals in this product such as Kleenex whose single boxes often sell for bordering on the £1.50 pence price range. However, even though the Tesco Value tissues are cheaper in comparison there is not really much more going for them other than this factor. The tissues themselves are a lot darker in colour than my usual Kleenex branded ones and have a very grey like appearance where as Kleenex are a lot whiter and cleaner looking. The tissues from the Tesco value range box are a lot trickier to get out of the box compared to the Kleenex...
