I put this qustion a few years ago, and now I thought I might resurrect it seeing as though we have a lot of new friends in the group, and the question is what household cleaners or household products, excluding laundry detergents did you use or do you remember from years gone by,here is my list.
1.Flash-a multi purpose powder cleaner which was a real favourite of Mum's and mine, off the market for quite a long time now.
2.Ezi-Kleen-a spray on multi purpose foam cleaner for bathrooms, mirrors, benchtops anything really,nice light lemon fragrance.
3.Air-O-Zone- Room deodorant spray, used to have the most delightful range of fragrances,lavender,rose,citrus, pine(my favourite.),spice.(not really a cleaner I know but I just had to put it in.).Also discontinued.
4.Mrs. Sparkle- basically a female version of Mr. Sheen.(Mr. Sheen still around Mrs. Sparkle discontinued.
5.D.X.-(No not the 2 wrestlers.),a brand of disinfectant similar to Pine-O-Cleen,also discontinued.
6.Shelltox pest control products-,Hanging Pest strip, cupboard based pest strip product, tropical strength fly spray.- All discontinued for a very long time, I think the strips were removed because they were full of either D.D.T. or Dichlorvos,very potent and poisonous.
7.Flytox- Without a doubt THE MOST potent and lethal insect spray ever created, it was so bloody strong, you had to evacuate the house whyen spraying or you would choke to death along with the flies and mosquitoes.also discontinued-thank heavens!!!.
8.Woolworths "Minit" range of products, this was Woolworths original generic range of household products there was a fly spray, (had a nice musk fragrance from memory) and a range of different fragrant room deodorants.-Discontinued for many years.
9 Vapor-Brite oven cleaner-was a metal tin full of cleaning agents which were activated when you poured hot water into the tin and placed it in your cold oven and the escaping vapours cleaned your oven.-Discontinued.
10.Phenyle-(pronounced phenol)was a very powerful disinfectant mostly used for cleaning the household garbage can and for pouring down drains, very strong fragrance you would not use it for washing floors etc.- Might still be around not too sure.
11.Solyptol- household anstiseptic/disinfectant very similar to Dettol.-May still be available not too sure.
12.Johnson Protector flyspray range-was the first insect spray to have a wide nozzle for dispersing the spray was available in lemon and mint-citronells fragrance.-Discontinued was replaced by Raid later on.
13.Medic- medicated room spray for coughs and colds, was basically an aerosol version of vicks vaporub you sprayed it into the rooms of anyone suffering with a cold or so and the vapours (supposedly),cleared blocked nostrils etc while you slept.
Well that's all I can think of for now looking forward to your trips down memory lane.
Cheers.
