Hello Michel,

>Thanks Jim but you know here in France we don't know this product 
>so we may have it under some other name, for example if you tell 
>me "bleach" I know what to look for but instead if you give me a 
>brand name familiar to everyone in the US as bleach then I am lost.

There's an explanation for the seeming casualness of the replies. 
Here in the US certain product names are ubiquitous to the point they
have become synonymous with the product itself.  For example, if you
need to blow your nose you ask for a Kleenex, even though there are
other brands of tissue.  And we ask for Jello, even though there are
other brands of gelatin desserts.  Windex is the same, even though
there are many brands of window cleaner.  If I go to the store and buy
some Publix window cleaner, I will still say Windex if someone asks me
what I'm using.  So there you have the whole story <g>.

Regards,
Clayton
