Advantages: Unusual colour

Disadvantages: Smell, turns white doors yellow, not very effective, lots of elbow grease required

I recently purchased this product in Tesco along with the bathrom version of this product. It normally retails at £2.66 for a 500ml bottle, however I bought them on BOGOF and got 750ml bottles, so I felt as though I had got a really good deal.

This product is a very bright yellow in colour, verging on being neon. If you shake the bottle (as you do) you will notice that it has a slightly thicker consistency than your typical cleaning product.

I used this at first to clean my gas hob, as I find that it's pretty hard work to clean it, especially if I've been doing a big batch of cooking. I wasn't impressed with the results at all, I had to use quite a lot of this product, far more than I would normally use and it was still quite hard work to get the stains off.

The product smells very strongly of lemons and as I'm bizarrely allergic to lemons the smell is strong enough to turn my stomach, so that alone, even without the poor cleaning means I won't buy it again.

A word of warning, if you thinking of buying this product - perhaps it was stupid of me but I had some marks on the bottom of one of my (white) doors so I used this to clean them off and was very happy with my shiny door. Untill the next day that is when I noticed that I had yellowy streaks all over the door where I had cleaned it. I don't think this should happen, I have purple and orange coloured cleaning products and they don't turn my doors funny colours so I wasn't at all impressed.

It's a shame really, the bathroom power cream was far and away the best thing I've used in my bathroom, but this was a total let down. It just didn't do the job I expect from a cleaning product, I don't like my doors going yellow and when you would have to pay £2.66 full price there's just no way I'd get it again.

Summary: Loved the bathroom power cream, can't understand what happened with this one!
