Advantages: Everything

Disadvantages: None at all!

In my kitchen we have a fair bit of stainless steel hanging about and my Mother is really funny about taps in our house gleaming and things like that! So she purchased this gel (not the squirty version as shown on the top of this page but Dooyoo directed me here instead of giving me a new link so here I am lol).

The other day I set about a spot of cleaning and this was one product I decided to give a go!

The Packaging....

500ml long plastic bottle with bright blue plastic lid to the top of it that conceals a small hole. On the front I am told it is Cif 'New' Stainless Steel Gel 'With Polishing Agents' for intensive cleaning and gentle polishing and that it gives brilliant shine and is for daily use and there is a picture of taps and a cooker sparkling on there. On the back of the bottle I'm told a bit about the product and given directions for use, warnings and precautions are given, contact details for Unilever are listed (the manufacturer of the product), size and the recycle symbol are shown and finally there is a bar-code on there. It's a functional and informative bottle and I do like the way I can see the shimmery metallic silver gel through the bottle.

A Bit About The Product According To The Back Of The Bottle....

New stainless steel gel with its 2-in-1 action, intensively cleans and polishes to remove grease, limescale stains, fingertips and watermarks. It's non-abrasive formulation contains polishing agents to give a brilliant shine on polished surfaces without scratching.

Directions For Use....

Apply a small quantity to the surface. Wipe with a damp cloth and rinse. For best results dry the surface after rinsing.

Me Using It....

This is really brilliant stuff! A small amount of the gel goes a very long way indeed and basically I used it as directed and after initially cleaning stuff as this is more a buffing up type of product than a heavy duty cleaning one. I squeeze out a small amount of the runny silver gel to where I want to clean/polish, leave it for a second or two before wiping and then I do so with a dampish cloth. This has a sort of chemical smell to it but it's clean smelling and not harsh or anything like that and it doesn't agitate my hands/skin at all.

This is fabulous on any stainless steel, slightly grimy/greasy hobs and hoods, we buff up out stainless steel BBQ with this and the stainless steel taps in our home and the stainless steel bits and pieces like door handles and on furniture like shelves in the bathroom. It doesn't smear and it's really simple to use, just think of it as regular polish but for steel! I find it instantly works thus making things looks as good as new and I don't personally feel the need to rinse after using this.

All In All....

To me this isn't something that is a heavy duty cleaning product but it is great for wiping of sticky paw prints and light marks. It's economical and fuss free to use and if your a house proud type of person (like my Mother) than I consider it a must buy!

Available in most good supermarkets etc priced at £3.95 (ish) and it's also available in a spray action bottle!

Summary: A great product!
