Washing Powder

[SDJ]

I use the loo roll to fill the cases up as I leave most of my Florida clothes in our owners closet so they are a good space filler along with kitchen roll. I need a case when I come back for all the shopping[msnwink] Have done this at 5 different homes during the past 16 years and the paper has not caused a problem. I bet it will do now!!!

Most machines in the US are top loaders so don't need the non foaming type of wash powder so if you bring it back you can't put it in a front loader.

I buy both toilet rolls and washing powder from Walmart and the one near us sells small packets of both. I think the toilet paper is much better now than it used to be and is quite soft but the pieces are smaller than the UK ones.

Sandra[/quote]All I can say is that you're obviously very lucky Sandra as plenty of our guests in the past have managed to block loos. Since we've told them not to take UK loo paper, we haven't had a problem.

You can get really good loo paper in the US anyway - Cottonelle (a US brand) is really good and they also sell a US version of Charmin there. It's not exactly on ration or in short supply!

You need to learn how to use a good old fashioned plunger!

I'm quite capable of using a plunger thank you.

I doubt however that the majority of guests would be willing to tackle a blocked toilet, the usual thing is for them to call out the management company.
