Sophie Harris, a Senior Audience Writer for Spare Time, has relied on a single cleaning product from Home Bargains for more than five years. Despite experimenting with natural solutions like baking soda and white vinegar, as well as various commercial cleaners, she consistently returns to Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser.
Why Elbow Grease Stands Out
Harris describes the product as second to none in terms of powerful cleaning performance, versatility, and ease of use. The spray costs approximately £1.99 for a one-litre bottle, making it an affordable staple in her cleaning routine. According to the product description, it is solvent-free and designed to tackle stubborn grease and food stains without damaging surfaces.
Versatile Applications
The spray can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and fabrics. Harris uses it to wipe down kitchen counters, hobs, barbecues, and even treat fabric stains. Beyond the kitchen, she applies it to bathroom surfaces, door handles, and light fixtures. Its straightforward application—a quick spray and wipe—often suffices, though she sometimes leaves it to work for a few minutes on tougher areas.
Additional Products
Elbow Grease also offers an Air Fryer Cleaning spray that removes grease in as little as five minutes. Harris uses this product every time she cleans her air fryer, and it is also available at Home Bargains for around £1. She notes that each bottle of the all-purpose degreaser lasts a long time, contributing to its cost-effectiveness.
Long-Term Reliability
Having used the spray for well over five years, Harris emphasizes its consistent performance. The product effectively cuts through stubborn grease in the kitchen, removing cooking residues from hobs, extractor fans, and splashbacks. It also works well on sinks, bins, and other areas prone to grease and dirt buildup.
