I so agree Julie, I used to love to be able to get blu for the loo in the value range, (5 for a £1) and every bit as good as the ones I have to revert back to at just 1 for £1.
I wished I had stocked up on them because they suddenly disappeared, and they are not the only thing. They also used to do toilet rim bleach blocks, again 5 for £1 but hey, they too have disappeared along with other similar items that I used to get for the bathroom. They have ruined their range.

It's a shame about the Dettol Antiseptic Cream. I do get packets of 10 x Dettol Antiseptic wipes from Tesco at 80p for a pack. They are pretty good, but the cream seems to be a thing of the past. I seem to just pick up as a matter of habit, Germoline Antiseptic Cream, which seems to do the trick for us.

Hate it when they stop a product that's useful. I like Cif direct to floor cleaner, but can't find that anywhere now.

Re: Why are products withdrawn for no apparent reason ?

THat is a coinkydink. I went looking for the very same Dettol ointment myself in our local pharmacy the other day. THey'd always had it before and now..gone. "Sorry we don't have that anymore" Luckily I got another locally made one that is really good but yes Dettol is the best for sure.

Re: Why are products withdrawn for no apparent reason ?

That's a very good question.

Coles and Woolies currently have stopped producing their own brand Arrowroot biscuits and the former seems to no longer stock their own brand reduced salt Buttery Blend Spread.

Even Big W appears to have joined this trend with their Essentials brand of woven boxer shorts being sold off cheaply - I bought 6 pairs for $6 while I still can.

It's an outrage. If this keeps up I shall be shopping with all the poor people at Aldis.

keezoy you can buy here from eBay and Amazon but all the sellers listed ( a whole page of them in eBay offering 1 -30 tubes made in England from £8.90 per tube ) are in Malaysia !

Zuleika, would it happen to be Cetrimide you are talking about?

If so, Superdrug do an antiseptic cream with Cetrimide, and so do Boots, and they are a lot cheaper than the Dettol.
Have a peek here:

(My goats udder cream used to contain Cetrimide too, not that that's a lot fo help).

No Mups. That's not a property in Dettol antiseptic cream

Dhttps://www.drugs.com/uk/dettol-anti...m-leaflet.htmlAs I said previously they're unique to Dettol .
