For those who used to swear by Jeyes Fluid, it is currently in stock as a
patio cleaner at Lidl.

Why, is it being withdrawn as an allowed substance? I'm fairly sure Nick
bought some earlier this year (proper Jeyes, not patio cleaner)

Not before time, it's horribly full of phenol, cats and dogs (and others
mammals presumably) can be poisoned by it simply by taking it in through
their pads on a long term basis, like if you use it to wash down your patio
regularly.

I haven't heard that the full strength Jeyes is banned but if it is I am not
surprised. I once poisoned a ferret I had by using it to disinfect his
hutch. My vet told me so when I took him there, dying of organ failure. I
thought I was keeping him clean by using it - but I was killing him :-( and
I did not know.
I never used it for anything again after that.
