Cillit Bang Power Cleaner

Over 34 years of marriage , and a few before that of house chores , I must have tried just about every cleaning product going . Some good , some not so good . Some cheap , some not so cheap .

Having read a few reviews and heard from friends about new Cillit Bang I thought I'd give this product a try .

I bought a 750 ml spray bottle for about £1.99 on special offer . It's a funky deep purple coloured bottle with a bright orange nozzle . The nozzle just turns round for on/ off and you just aim and pull the trigger . The fromt label is orange pink and white and claims , power cleaner - power grime and lime cleaner .

On the label at the back there is a list of surfaces which are either suitable or not suitable for using Cillit Bang on. It is worth checking this out before using to save on any disasters . The instructions state:-

Turn nozzle to on position .
Test on an inconspicuous part of surface to be cleaned . I
never do this , but you should really .
Hold bottle in upright position at least 20 - 25 cms from
surface and spray directly on to it.
Leave to stand for one minute and then rinse thoroughly with
water .
Repeat if necessary .
Rinse cloth thoroughly in water .

All perfectly normal there then . It is an irritant as one would expect so there are the usual precautions and helpline telephone numbers . You need to be careful especially with skin , eyes and breathing . Obviously keep out of childrens way .
There was nothing here which you would not normally find on such a cleaning product .

So here we go . Nozzle opened . Target found . Spray away . We have contact .

The first thing I tried Cillit Bang on was my stainless steel sink .
As I sprayed it on the first thing I noticed was it was a bright pink .
The smell reminded me of toothpaste come TCP . A bit strange really . Soapy almost . I cleaned my sink , as always , with a soft washing up brush . I do this as I don't like wearing marigolds and this stops any contact with my hands . So I left it a minute and brushed away . It did get my sink really clean and shiny with very little effort and no residue left.

On to my plastic washing up bowl then . This had an even better result on the tea and food stains . They came off easily . Although I sometimes use bleach on this bowl it's not really suitable for plastic .

Onwards and upwards . The bathroom wash basin . I squirted it this time onto the taps also and cleaned with an old sponge I use . Yet again good results . The stainless steel taps came up a treat . They were very shiny afterwards and the limescale had definitely gone . In a hard water area lime scale can be a real pain .

I have gone on to use this product on all sorts of things . What I don't like about it is , one certain things such as tile grout it can leave a pinkness behind which is hard to get rid off . Also although it is quite a fresh smell it doesn't leave the clinical freshness I like of domestos . By the way, I am only cleaning up after two people , I don't think it would be strong enough to cope with heavy stains from a family . Reading the ingredients it does contain perfume so maybe that accounts for the different sort of smell.

I have tried Cillit Bang quite a bit now and definitely find it a handy extra product . If I want a quick cleaning burst on the bath or wash basin , it does leave them looking pretty clean and lime free in next to no time. The lime scale removal on the taps is a godsned to me .

However it's not a universal cleaner due to the surfaces you can't use it on . Also for really smelly dirt , god forbid , you can't beat the old products . So I'd recommend it , but only just .
