Hob Brite

Advantages: Works very well, fairly inexpensive, easy to use
Disadvantages: Bit runny

...maufacturer's instruction for cleaning recommended Hob Brite, by Homecare. I tootled off to Tesco and found it very easily, in with the rest of the household cleaning products. It cost at the time about £1.25 but it's since gone up in price a little and the last bottle I bought cost me £1.39 from Sainsbury's - the bottle contains 300ml, and to my knowledge does not come in any different sizes. The first time I used my new hob I'd cooked us all a ...
...hob. I left the hob to cool down before I attempted to clean it, as directed on the bottle's instructions. I used a clean cloth, as instructed (although they don't tell you whether this should be a wet or dry one, mine was slightly damp). I applied the cleaner to the cloth and rubbed the hob lightly, again as directed. I think I may have been a little too gentle, though, as the hardened remnants of our tea refused to budge. I applied more of the ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, removes burnt-on deposits, gives a great surface shine
Disadvantages: Need to be careful not to mix with bleach

INTRODUCTION Hob Brite is a cleaning agent for ceramic and halogen hobs. Now, as you might know, if you have one of these hobs, they have a flat, glass surface. This is supposed to make them easy to clean, as you are supposed to be able to just wipe them over, without the hassle of having to, for example, take gas rings apart. However, I quickly learnt after acquiring a ceramic hob in my new home that a quick wipe-down after cooking does not keep ...
...I buy a specialist cleaner, Hob Brite. Fortunately, it is sold in my local Tesco, so there was no bother obtaining a bottle. PACKAGING AND PRICE Hob Brite comes in a bright orange bottle with a flip-top lid. On the front of the bottle, under the product name, it says "RECOMMENDED BY: Belling, Creda, Tricity Bendix, Stoves, Zanussi, De Dietrich, Neff, Baumatic and Rangemaster". Well, I can vouch for one of those! 300ml costs £1.39. USING THE PRODUCT ... Read review

Advantages: Economical to use, leaves hob looking like new
Disadvantages: None

...Hotpoint electric oven and ceramic hob to replace the gas ones installed when our house was built, and supplied with the hob was a small sampler bottle of Hob-Brite. I'd owned an electric cooker some years earlier, and I'd always used Jif (as it was called then) to clean the hob. It did the job well, but I thought I may as well use up the freebie bottle of Hob-Brite, even if I didn't carry on with it afterwards. Made by an Ipswich company called ...
...white, chalky marks on the hob after it has dried. This is also likely to happen if you use too much of the liquid - a tiny amount should really be sufficient for most stains. It's quite satisfying to inspect the piece of dry kitchen roll after you've rubbed in the Hob-Brite, because when you see a dirty, brown stain on the paper, you know the stuff has done its job, and I've found that it brings my hob up nice and shiny, looking as good as it did ...

Advantages: good results, good price
Disadvantages: -

...I just bought a ceramic hob cooker because previously I never really worried too much about spillages around the cooker but now with the shiny black surface dirt starts to show up more easily. I love my cooker and being a huge pasta lover and loving my sauces etc this means that there are going to be spillages whether it's tomato sauce stains, oil after frying these all make a mess if not cleaned quick so this is why I looked into products for cleaning ...
...heard of Homecare who make Hob Brite. I haven't heard of them but I certainly wouldn't forget to recommend if I ever come to the subject of discussing hobs. The packaging, is unmissable being luminous orange with a blue lid, not the most complimenting colour combination but it's bright and stands out on the cleaning products shelf. The logo plain white writing and a hob photo with a sparkly star on the front emphasising the clean sparkle. On the ... Read review

Advantages: Cleans your sink!
Disadvantages: Takes some serious elbow grease

.... The final downer is probably pertinent to me in that I have taken on a sense of "ownership" with the sink, and resent it when people just willy nilly splash water around so that I have to start all over again. Advantages far outway the disadvantages- it's worth giving it a go.

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Did leave a slight residue, easily comes off though.

...I really just want to agree with the previous reviewers and echo what they say really. This is a billiant product. We've just moved house and had to renovate it from top to bottom. We had to buy a second hand ceramic hob due to money being a bit tight. Unfortunately the hob had scorch marks on and around every ring and I tried various products (including hob-brite) to try to remove them, but to no avail. This is the only product which was up to the job, and although I did still have to use a lot of elbow grease and the scour pad side of a sponge the hob is like brand new again and I am over the moon with the result! I would highly recomend this product to anyone.... Read review
