Sophie Harris, a senior lifestyle reporter, has been cleaning her entire home with a single £1.99 spray from Home Bargains for over five years. The product, Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser, has replaced all other cleaning solutions in her household.
A Reliable Cleaning Essential
Having tried numerous cleaning methods over the years—from bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar to various shop-bought products—Harris consistently returns to Elbow Grease. She describes it as "truly unrivalled" in its cleaning power, adaptability, and straightforward application.
The product description states: "Say goodbye to stubborn grease and pesky food stains with Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser, the reliable solution for daily messes. This powerful cleaner is solvent-free, ensuring your surfaces remain undamaged while you tackle the toughest residue. Clean with confidence and discover the effectiveness of this all-in-one product."
Versatility Across Surfaces
Priced at approximately £1.99 per litre, the spray is suitable for virtually any surface, including metal, plastic, and fabric. Harris uses it as her first port of call for cleaning challenges, from kitchen worktops and hobs to barbecues and stubborn fabric stains. Each bottle lasts a remarkably long time, she notes.
In the kitchen, it effortlessly cuts through ingrained grease on hobs, extractor fans, and splashbacks. It also works well on sinks, bins, and other grease-prone areas. Outside the kitchen, Harris applies it to bathroom surfaces, door handles, and light fittings.
Simple Application
The spray's method of use is straightforward: a swift spray and wipe is typically sufficient, though for particularly tough spots, she allows it to sit for several minutes. Elbow Grease also offers an Air Fryer Cleaning spray that removes grease from the device in as little as five minutes.
Harris concludes that Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser has been a firm fixture in her cleaning cupboard for over five years, and she sees no reason to switch to anything else.
