I have slightly less UHT milk than you SS, currently running at 36 litres but then there is only the 2 of us.

Interesting point with the UHT milk, I stored about 20 tins of the powderd stuff but I can’t see it ever being used while I have a supply of standard milk. Not exactly something to rotate.

we have been using UHT milk for the last 22 years, some people say its an acquired taste but we like it.
Lidl sell it in 12x1litre boxes £6 per box, I have 2 on the go with 1 in reserve, always "rotate,rotate,rotate!!".

We're maxing at 48l of UHT milk, and re- topping up in trays of 12l. Like BP I don't find the taste unpleasant at all.

Going back to the original question: Best already in place purchase has been a large supply of carbolic soap that I purchased as a job lot many years ago. We use this for heavy cleaning of dirt or whenever we've been in contact with others ( primarily shopping). It seems to have done the trick so far and we're only consuming one bar every 6 months.
