My grandparents were using that still up until they died in the last couple of years. But my grandma was brought up by her grandma, so I forgive them for being a bit more old-fashioned than some. Izal. Horrid stuff. It comes in rolls too if you're feeling nostalgic!
There was a programme on Radio 4 about Izal, its history and fans last year ("Now Wash Your Hands") which was vaguely amusing listening in that R4 way. Unfortunately it's not on iplayer :-(
