About this deal
For yonks now I have been buying the Kania brand (i.e. Lidl) tomato ketchup. When you compare the list of ingredients, it actually contains more tomato per 100g than Heinz, but time after time while shopping in Lidl I see people look at both and then opt for the Heinz.

I had been using the Lidl window cleaner for ages until I bought a Karcher a while ago which came with some of its own concentrated cleaner. I haven't use much of it so far , so have not found out if the Lidl cleaner works as well with the Karcher.These do not contain enough alcohol to damage 3m matte protective screen coatings found on most if not all screens. I even cleaned glossy monitor with it and laptop screens. My daily screen now is 4k lg 27uk650 and no damage done. Remember that these wipes are made to clean glasses. And most glasses today are plastic with antireflective coatings etc so very fragile. One thing my opticians advised was NEVER use normal face tissues to clean lenses as they are surprisingly abrasive.

Maybe long time ago these were stronger or maybe there are stronger versions still available but I tried few brands and none of it damages the coating. I use cheap filters on all of my lenses but struggled whilst using the MX-1 abroad. I had no wipes, brushes or blowers and the lens became covered in dust and grease. I also missed being able to fit a lens hood. I think that the Germans are fanatical about cleanliness[nothing racial] so their products always seem to deliver . Big time I haven't used on a lens yet, I will just put a few in my bag for whenever I need them. just to test, I used one on my phone, and one my 10 incher, er, tablet that is!! Worked great, completely clean and streak free.
I've never had any issue with the plastic cover on my camera screen. If wipes are designed for delicate eye spectacles with their anti reflective coatings and transition coatings I think fine (sparingly) for my camera gear. The Karcher is good, but I have to finish off with kitchen paper or some fine papery stuff my SIL gave me (I have no idea what it is, I think she bought it on a roll from Trago). Otherwise I seem to have little streaks of water around the edges and where I change direction with it. Here in France, if it wasnt for Lidl, Aldi and Leader Price - we would be broke. The leading supermarkets (equivalent to Sainsbury's Tescos etc) charge the earth for absolutely everything - you need a personal loan to go in there. So everyone gets all their essential stuff at Lidl and then goes to Intermarche or Carrefour for the few items which cant be bought from Lidl. I am always using 1000 lumen strong flashlight and it reveals EVERYTHING on the monitor, desk, furniture omg. If You think Your monitor is clean... it's not until You shine 1000lm on it directly haha. The Germans do have a reputation for being thorough, so that probably applies to their cleaning as well.
