Their house brand. I go to Sam's and buy Bountys. Costco is too far from home.
My sister brought me a couple Costco double rolls. Not bad. And my neighbor
gave me a roll of Sam's regular. They are about $17 for a case of 30.

I used to own a Morphy Richards steam cleaner, it was excellent. It had 4
bar pressure and did the job to my satisfaction.
It has since broken and I am looking for another cleaner but none of them

opinions about it?

Do not use a wire coat hanger to get at a wad of paper in the toilet
because it could scratch the white toilet bowl a bit. But if, for
example a houseguest did it, what might be tried to mitigate or remove
