INTRO

I have problems keeping the flat clean, any suggestions are welcome. I saw the advertisements for Cillit Bang, have you seen them, promising to clean almost anything. So I kept an eye open at the supermarkets I shop in. Finally I saw the product on the shelves of my local Waitrose. It stayed there for 2/3 weeks whilst I plucked up enough courage to purchase. The bottle at £2.99 was not cheap for this type of cleaner. Most I have used are in the £1.99 region. One reason for this could be Cillit bottle hold 750 ml, most cheaper products are around 500 ml.

THE PRODUCT

The Liquid comes in a spray form. The top of the distinctly mauve bottle is an orange spray mechanism with grip sections for the rest of the hand. Not unlike many products of a similar nature. The extra weight makes it a bit more cumbersome to use than rivals. I found the spray rather unrefined tending to splurge large amounts of liquid onto the chosen surface.

The rear of the container is full of info and advice briefly :

Grime and lime buster is perfect for : wash basins and bath tubs, toilets and showers, taps, chrome, stainless steel and ceramic sinks, ceramic wall and floor tiles, PVC floor covering.

The bottle mentions its power cleaning on Grime, soap scum and limescale.

GRIME

I found it ideal on the grease splashed by my cooker on the surrounding, this had dried onto the tiles and the top and side of the surfaces. Most of grime whipped away after 1 minute of soaking.

LIMESCALE

The shower attachment in my bathroom was beginning to clog with limescale, cillt’s cleaning power was moderate but not that good. I find a dedicated cleaner works better here.

SOAP SCUM

The rest of the bath needed cleaning, here the product was most effective.

INFORMATION

Read the product carefully before you purchase it, on the back it lists several surfaces it is not suitable for including brass, marble, copper, enamel, rubber, textiles wood floors. Etc.

The product does emphasis that it is a toxic substance along instructions as to what to do for accidents.

MY OPINION

Not much different than other products in the range, not as exciting as the TV advertisement (I’ve yet to try the £1 trick). Its main advantage is it comes in a large 750 ml bottle (most products in this range come in 500 ml bottles) this may mean fewer visits to the supermarket (will I be tempted to use more).
