Advantages: Great smell and promises to kills a multitude of germs and viruses.

Disadvantages: The bulkiness of the can and the price.

~ Packaging and Price ~

This comes in a chunky, cylindrical aerosol spray can. Given that this is the apple fragrance the top section is suitably 'attired' in apple green.

It is dispensed via an easy to reach press-down spray nozzle but for those of you interested in the safety of little hands getting hold of it, it doesn't have an off / on option as so many other disinfectants have nowadays!

The 300ml spray can is currently priced at:
Tesco ~ £2.78
Asda ~ £2.48

Although I bought mine a while ago on special offer, as is usually the case for me when trying new products!

~ What does it promise? ~

* Can help protect your family from illness by preventing the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses such as salmonella, E coli, Listeria, Herpes etc.
* Kills 99.9% of germs in 30 seconds on surfaces.

~ How to use it ~

Shake the can before using and then hold it 15 - 20cm from the pre-cleaned surface.
Spray the surface until covered with mist and allow to air dry.
No need to wipe.

DO NOT use on polished wood, painted surfaces, leather or acrylic plastics.

~ My Opinion ~

The smell is great.... It's called 'apple green' and it really does smell of freshly cut ripe, not bitter, apples!

I had to get used to not wiping the mist off the surfaces, thinking that it would 'clag' but it doesn't do this at all and it dries relatively quickly as long as you keep move the can in a gentle action across the surface area and don't just spray all of it in one place!

It leaves the rooms smelling fresh and fragrant but as for killing all of those germs and viruses, I'm no scientist so can't vouch for this, no doubt there have been lots of lab tests etc to verify these claims.

~ Where to use it? ~

The following areas are suggested:
Toilets, empty kitchen bins, telephones, shower bases, door handles and under sinks to name but a few.

My only wish was that they made this in a mini version to spray public toilet handles which I NEVER touch. I'm a bit fussy about this and resort to using tissue paper to open the doors when leaving as although I've washed my hands, many haven't! I always wonder why they don't make the exits, push outwards rather than having to pull them open. Anyway, that's another topic.

~ Overall ~

I'm pleased with the fragrance of this and happy in the knowledge that it promises to disinfect surfaces.
Would I buy it again? ....... Only if it was on special offer as despite my earlier paragraph, I'm not that obsessive and have other cleaning products that are cheaper and just as efficient.

Summary: A great smelling disinfectant spray but too large for a handbag!!
