Cillit Bang - is it as good as it seems from the adverts?

Is anything? My daughter informs me that it's nowhere near as good as it's made out to be.

Si

No idea, but

I thought it was pretty useless. Nothing like the advert!

It's a stupid name! Makes me think of a certain part of the female anatomy.

OK, I give in,what is it?

It's got rid of the grubbiness on my shower base which other cleaners, including bleach, couldnt.

Contrary to everyone else's thoughts, I think it's OK.

In the advert they dip a copper coin into the solution to clean it.

However, on the bottle it apparently says not suitable for use with copper.

Me too; not as good as it claims, but *far* better thaan any other alleged general purpose cleaner IMO

No, it's rubbish, based on the adverts.

amusingly, small captions have started appearing on the bottom of these demonstrations.

IIRC, the copper coin demo (which lasts all of 3 seconds on the screen) has the caption "15 minutes".

And another caption which I think is from this product says "stubborn deposits may require scrubbing".

Which is strange, cos the advert makes it all look so easy.....

It's a weak solution of sulphamic acid and a detergent or two. That is, it's just the same as limescale remover.

Because if you use it often enough it corrodes the copper. It's also not a good idea to use it with marble tiles.

Thanks Mary. If you didn't ask I was going to have to

But I haven't seen a reply ... :-(

I gather that it's a proprietary cleaner but from what Si said about his daughter's comment I expected it to be something for Young People. The two don't usually go together :-)

We have found it *excellent* at removing limescale..makes your fingers sting, though.

Also good for removing surface rust!

That's because copper coins aren't copper, afaik.
