Child Proof Screw Tops

Yet again as I cannot unscrew the cap of a bottle of toilet cleaner to clean round the loo. Whilst I appreciate the safety aspect for children, surely someone could come up with a devise for the elderly (with weak wrists) to be able to unscrew these devises.


Now on the hunt for a young strong handsome man to help me out. 🙁

I'm glad that you commented on this as I think the same too ! Bleach is the worst bottle to open ! I have NEVER had a strong grip . Some years ago I purchased a rubber opener that will grip around most tops, HOWEVER, YOU CANT USE IT WITH BLEACH WHERE YOU HAVE TO PUSH IN THE SIDES AS WELL ! sometimes I can do it, but mostly husband has to do it ! I've just Googled this site, maybe I shall take a look for future use ! http://www.welcomemobility.co.uk/Departments/Kitchen/Openers.aspx
