Advantages: A good surface cleaner, leaves surfaces with a shine

Disadvantages: Runs out very quickly, doesn't contain a lot of bleach

When I noticed my local discount shop was selling the Wizz range of cleaning products at two for £1 I decided to stock up in readiness for spring cleaning.

I have used this budget range in the past and think it performs well so I bought a bottle of the Spray with Bleach. The spray uses a trigger action and the nozzle itself sprays just the right amount in an accurate direction. It comes out as more of a liquid than the finer mist I have come to expect from more expensive spray cleaners, but even so it didn't leave my surfaces soaking and was easy to rinse off.

I have mainly used this cleaner in the kitchen, bathroom and brick outhouse in which I have installed a basic secondary kitchen. I have had varying degrees of success, while the spray coped admirably in my already clean bathroom it struggled with the outdoors grime in the outhouse.

After wiping a surface that is already clean I am always impressed at the amount of dirt it removed onto my cloth. I am always surprised at how something can look clean but after using a product like this it's apparent some dirt still remains. I also like the sheen this product leaves on my shinier surfaces, surprising really as cleaners containing bleach can dull surfaces rather than enhance the shine.

To be honest I don't think there's an awful lot of bleach in this product. It certainly doesn't immediately remove blackcurrant stains as neat or lightly diluted bleach from surfaces and even after accidentally spraying it on myself there was no bleach damage to my clothes.

I find this spray works best on smooth surfaces, it doesn't cope well with grease and is definitely more of a worktop wiper than a product that will help make the hard jobs easier. The smell is fairly non-descript, it doesn't smell of bleach at all in my opinion and is kind enough on my poor old lungs. While I enjoy trying new cleaning products I do have to be very careful as the fumes can easily provoke an asthma attack, I have gotten to the stage of recognising these fumes early on and ceasing to use the particular cleaner before any damage is done. I can honestly say there is not a thing in Wizz Spray that makes me even so much as wheeze, apart from the effort of the cleaning that is!

One thing that annoys me about the trigger action Wizz range in general is the fact that it runs out so quickly. The bottle always seems full on buying it but I've never known a misting cleaner vanish so quickly! Last week I cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom, it's a decent sized kitchen but bear in mind that I used this only for the cupboard doors, work surfaces and windowsills. The bottle was finished after this time consuming but ultimately small job, other brands of spray cleaners last me around three weeks but this one was gone in hours!

For 50p each I don't mind this however as it's the perfect product for wiping over my kitchen worktops, I do a lot of baking so keen my work surfaces clean all times and it's great to have a cleaner just for this which doesn't have an overpowering aroma and does do it's job well. Would I pay £1 for it though? Well no, probably not but only because it runs out so quickly that I might as well continue to buy my premium spray at just £1.89!

Summary: A very reasonably priced household cleaner.
