Bugs Away not available in shops any more + email from maker

[Mark]

Never heard that expression. Anyway, hopefully I will find some more in a shop - it is great stuff. A lot of the strong disinfectants such as Virkon are only that whereas Bugs Away is also a cleaner.

Oh, the saying I heard was "never assume, assume makes an ass out of U and ME!!"

Anyway, back on topic.....

[Mark]

No - that is it - honestly 

[JackSpratt]

Oh, wait. I think I know the rest of this....does it have something to do with a mule....?

[Mark]

No - it was just "never assume" 

[JackSpratt]

I don't have to tell you what my old boss always used to say? 

I don't know, would it have to be edited a lot....?

[Mark]

I kind of assumed

I can see why you thought that, whereas they mean tummy bugs I guess.

By the sound of their email, it looks as if once stock are sold, it will only be available direct. I have been thinking of doing an Ocado order so maybe I will get a stock of it. A spray bottle lasts ages. I would buy the wipes but would probably get through a pack a week.

Is this meant to be in the General Cat Chat, Mark? 

Yes as it's about a product that some people here use to sterilise litter trays 

Ahhhh. I kind of assumed it was a garden product.....

EDIT: Just looked it up - Ocado sell it for £1.99. Looks good.

It's the same thing except I use the trigger spray. I don't know what made them decide to stop selling it throught shops. One thing I do know is the lids never seemed to be screwed on enough and usually leaked in my bag

It's not the same stuff as these wipes is it, or is the name a coincidence?

I thought there was something weird....first it was in a yellow bottle, then white....now invisible! 

Yes I noticed that - It is great stuff as you know BM - I havn't seen anything else in shops that kills 99.999% of bacteria, viruses and moulds in under a minute. The useless johnsons stuff says to leave on for 20 minutes  - I ususally wash the trays, then spray and leave for a few minutes then rinse & wipe with kitchen towel  and I'm done. I wonder if Asda have any stock left

I emailed them to say I hadn't seen it in Wilkinsons for the last few weeks and have they stopped selling it - I also asked about phenols. The reply I got said that it is unlikely I will see it in shops any more as they are concentrating on selling it direct. They also gave me a 20% off code. The annoying thing is as they build in postage, it works out £3.49 a bottle and you have to buy 6  - even with 20% off it's £2.80 - it was £1.99 in Wilkos - Looks like I will have to find another product 

It said that Bugs Away doesn't contain phenols, however they would always recommend rinsing.
