Our cleaning lady introduced me to the stuff and now I wonder why they don't sell it in every country with a hard water problem. It is the BEST and it is very cheap. You can use it straight or diluted. I just squeeze some on my "stainless" sink and spread it around with a brush, and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. Also great for getting hard water deposits off of shower doors. Let me know if you try it and how it goes!

The liquid handsoap (anti-bacterial or not) had such a pleasant scent that I wish I could purchase some more. I googled the product and found your web-site. Any ideas on how I get some w/o a return trip... not that I wouldn't LOVE to go back! Thank-you.

I've never seen them disinfecting their equipment. I don't think she'd be offended if you asked, but I think she would think it was a really odd request. You might also need to bring your own disinfection stuff with you because I'm not sure that they would have anything. Germans have a very different attitude towards germs than Americans do. I don't see them dropping dead of bacterial infections and such though, so maybe what the news in the US is always telling us about food safety and all that stuff is mostly just scare tactics to get ratings.<br/><br/>@megan: Did they stop selling clear gel deodorants in the US? I haven't head anything about it. The last time I was there was August 2006 and I stocked up - I'm on my last stick of clear gel now.<br/><br/>@grafs: I dunno. Puzzles me too. I could see if something was unpronounceable or meant something negative in the foreign language, but sometimes the name changes just seem pretty random.<br/><br/>@Lynn: Good luck!!!! I hope the flight goes by as quickly as possible and the move goes smoothly! @anon: I think it’s pretty normal. I’ve never seen them disinfecting their equipment.
