Advantages: Cleans Brilliantly

Disadvantages: None

This is a wonderful product for cleaning just about anything inside, and outside, your house.

It comes in the form of powdery white granules in a 200g plactic tub and all you need to do is sprinkle the granules on to a wet cloth and away you go!! For more stubborn stains you can make a paste by adding water and you apply the paste leave for a minute or so then rinse off.

I've had mine for months now and it's still half full. The granules seem to go along way once they are wet. Mind you I only really use mine in the kitchen to clean the hob and my chrome stuff but it does have many other uses (see below).

It claims to clean just about anything, this is this list of what it says it cleans:

Removes Stains, Cleans Most Household Surfaces and removes tea, coffee, fruit juice, felt tip stains
Cleans sinks (gets rid of stains, soap scum and hardwatere deposits)
China and Glass (approved by Wedgewood no less!!)
Ceramic Glass (Cookers, Hobs, Oven doors)
Chrome (removes rust)
plastic, formica, tiles, grout, copper and brass.

The only thing is says not to use it on is Polished Stainless Steel, Gold & Silver and enamel.

I have only used it for a couple of the above so can't comment on how it performs on the rest but if it's cleaning power on brass, chrome and ceramic hobs is anything to go by it should be good.

I initially bought it for cleaning all the outside hardware on my front door which was meant to be brass but was actually black with years of pollution and grime.

I took a wet cloth poured on a few granules and started to rub away, it immediately started to shine like new - I couldn't believe it, it was so easy, no real scrubbing (I just used a cloth not even a scourer).

It is also fantastic on my ceramic hob - it gets rid of burnt on food and water splashes like a breeze. You just pour some granules on to a wet cloth and wipe over the hob and it shin
es like brand new.

I love it and so will you - I got mine from the Kleeneze catalouge that gets delivered to me but if you don't have a Kleeneze I've been told they sell it in some supermarkets.

(Ingredients: Less than 5% Non-ionic Surfactant, BP Grade Acids, Flowing Agent, Less than 1% fragrance, Inert Mineral Filler) and it says Vegetarian Approved!!

I've used this great stuff for years. I collect old china and it's perfect for getting rid of deep stains without damaging the pots. It's not always easy to find in supermarkets but Sainsburys often have it. Now I find it much easier to buy it online from the manufacturers at www.homecareproducts.co.u k
