Any substitute product for CIF??
 
This is the cleaning product in its yellow bottle with the spraynozzle. It is simply the best cleaning product in the UK, but after 18 months in Oz, I still can not find something similar that matches my CIF. It is excellent for bathtub marks, stoves etc. Marks and dirts I was not able to remove with handy andy or any other cleaning products, were removed by my CIF!

Any ideas/suggestions?

Have you tried Jif? Supposed to be made by the same folk and the bottles look quite similar (the cream cleaners not the power clean though)

Lol & I thought Jif changed it's name to Cif in the U.K maybe it will here in 30 years time;)

They did but only because the Europeans couldn't say Jif! So it must've stayed as Jif outside of Europe :)

Used that spray in UK at xmas, fantastic stuff:thumbup: never seen anything here that even touches it though. Jif in OZ is just a creme cleanser, like gumption:rofl: me gran used to use.

Dont know whats isn that CIF stuff, but its sure works.

Put 1 part white vinegar, 1 part water and a good dash of washing up liquid into a spray bottle.

I got the purple bottle of kitchen degreaser and it works wonders everywhere. I think it's a Bam product.

I also use Orange Power products. Fantastic and better than anything I used in the UK.

Love Gumption! (It's even available in my tiny supermarket here :thumbup:) And if you have an Enyo rep nearly I can highly, highly recommend their Marble Paste - costly to buy but lasts for literally years as you need such a little bit.
