before this slips under the radar, does anyone else use this as a substitute for Iodophor ? thanks ruserious Yep, me. I do always rinse though (even when I use another no-rinse sanitiser) If its good enough to be painted onto the skin before surgery it is good enough to sterilise a...

i'm sure it was Ross who posted awhile back about the availability of free or very cheap fridges at certain outlets, Harvey Norman etc. these appliances are the trade ins / unwanted fridges when new ones have purchased. do a search on fridges. ruserious
