Jif Cream Cleaner > Reviews (13)

Cif lemon cleaner, or Jiff if you use the old name, the name was changes as Jiff is a difficult word to say in some languages Cif easier.
I bought some of this for my pre Christmas house clean.
Bought it in Tesco it costs £1.27 for 500mls Tesco own citrus cream cleaner cost for 54 p for 250 mls so this purchase cost me 19p more for the same quantity. I do often use the Tesco own but for some reason I chose the cif this time. This cleaner is made by Unilever.

Now back to the kitchen sink. I picked up my bottle; it is easy to hold I squirted a little jiff sorry Cif onto the sink basin and the draining board. It smell very slightly lemony quite pleasant. This are not too dirty a couple of tea stained .I wiped the jiff opps sorry Cif over it and left it while I turned round and put some on my kitchen food preparation surface. I then went back to the sink and washed the Cif off. Rubbing a little where the stains were. I polished my taps with the Cif on my cloth. I then turned round and wiped clean the food preparation surface. Looking critically at this area I was happy that it was clean and hygienic,
I also use this cleaner to clean my dirty pans it cleans through the grease and will with a bit of effort and maybe repeat cleaning get rid of stubborn grime.
I then went into the smallest room under the stairs cleaned the hand basin with it then wiped round the toilet with it too.

Next upstairs to the bathroom. I cleaned the bath no scum on my bath now. Cif is non abrasive so it is good for cleaning not scratching. I cleaned the wash basin and the shower unit. I cleaned the tiles around the bath. The bathroom now had a faint lemon smell.
On my way between kitchen and bathroom is the hall I have a shelf there which has the shoes on it this gets very dirty so I gave this a clean with the Cif, looked much better.

Cif is best used by wiping it over the surface to be cleaned , leaving for a little while then wiping it of with a damp cloth rubbing any dirty marks. Stubborn stains may need second application.
This cleaner worked well for me. The things I cleaned were not ever so dirty but I know Cif does clean surfaces well I think for really dirty areas it's a little better than own brand cleaners that I have used, but for light cleaning I think I could have saved a few pence and used an own brand cleaner . Only a little cleaner is needed and this bottle will last a long time.
After all that pre christmas cleaning , guess whatr my hopuse nees cleaning again so of to the kitchen sink I go again .

Cif was first used in France in 1969, introduced to England in 1974 as Jiff in 2001 the name change took place
