Advantages: Great idea but disgusting smell

Disadvantages: Simply the smell of bleach

I tried this recently assuming I would like it because it's one of the Cif range of household cleaning products.

Its cleaning power was as good and reliable as all the other Cif creme cleaners but the smell I found quite revolting. I know it was due to the bleach content but it was overpowering and very unpleasant. I had expected the same delicate scent I find with Cif's original white creme cleaner and the lemon variety but I was sadly disappointed and, in the end, I gave it away to someone who didn't resent the smell.

It was excellent at its job with its slightly abrasive nature and the results with all the jobs I demanded of it were very good. Sinks, tiles and baths were beautifully clean but, as I get the same results with my usual Cif creme cleaners, I do not intend to buy this one again even though, with the germ-killing bleach content, it will actually leave things even cleaner. I paid £1.39 for a 500ml bottle of Cif Universal Cleaner with Bleach as opposed to £1.29 for the most recent bottle of Cif Creme Cleaner, the original white one, and it definitely was not worth the extra 10p. If the manufactures could somehow neutralise the bleach smell I would be persuaded to try it again.

Summary: As good as all the other Cif products but I could not cope with the smell of it!
