All 14 named candidates now link to a real Amazon UK product. Ten link to the exact manufacturer SKU. Four — the Exel trolley, the 220NX scrubber dryer, the Exel microfibre cloth and the Tork bin liners — have no Amazon listing for that specific commercial SKU, so a comparable substitute product is linked instead and clearly marked as such; do not present these four as the named brand until you've reviewed the substitute and are happy to stand behind it. Star ratings and prices shown were read from Amazon's own search results on 11 Sep 2026, not fabricated, but they are not live and will drift; treat them as a snapshot, not a guarantee, until an approved Amazon data source is connected.
For consumables, we will compare pack size and cost per unit. Product availability and prices can change; the retailer's listing will confirm the current offer.
