I am talking about any containers that open with a 'pinch and twist' action. I am sure that many people with weak hands and wrists would be pleased to find a solution to this problem.

Take a look at Lakeland Plastics - they do a key thing to open jars etc, so I would guess they have something for tops too.

Give them a call - blowed if I can think what it would be called to search for it!

Sorry, but don't struggle, if it's bleach pop it in a bag, take it on the bus & visit your local A&E as they've been awaiting the return of the 'cleaner', they have all the openings necessary there. Don't let them palm you off with any alternative, the easy openning stuff that they presently have to use, just don't kill germs!
Your other cleaner bottle tops, you can trap in the hinge door jam and twist.

Whatever you do, don't jam it in a door in order to open it. We use a device made of plastic, with a strong black rubber band attached, there is a groove in the handle for holding the band, and a serrated edge on the plastic. The band is put around the cap or top,pushed into the groove and then turned, it works every time, I think it is called COBRA
As far as I know it was originally made for removing oil filters from cars
I think I saw them in B & Q UK
OR Try internet sites like "Jar openers" on google

Pinch/squeeze and/or press to open caps are one thing but if it is simply a tight regular screw cap then a small "strap wrench" can be of great help....that's one of those things that have a black rubber type strap attached to a handle. You put the strap around the cap and then into a slot in the handle in order to apply grip and leverage when turning the cap.

Run the bottle cap under hot water for 2 minutes it should loosen.

if you talking about child proof caps once they are open get someone to pry the inside of the lid out then the lid will work like a regular screw on lid
