English term or phrase: Household products
Hi,
I'm translating a marketing text about batteries, they are mentioning this and their other "household products". Je voulais mettre produits ménagers, mais je trouve que ca fait un reducteur, comme si l'on parlait uniquement de produits de nettoyage. Est-ce qu'il vaut mieux dire produits de maison, ou produits domestiques? Ou autre chose? Le texte est pour la France...

Explanation:
C'est celui qui pour moi n'a aucune connotation "nettoyage", mais englobe juste tous les types de produits utiles à la maison.

Beaucoup de sites parlent de batteries en ces termes
