HG natural stone kitchen top cleaner is specially developed for the swift and daily cleaning of work surfaces in granite, marble, cement and other natural stone. It will help to produce a wonderful fresh fragrance whilst you vacuum each room in your house so that you can enjoy your hoovering experience. Not strictly a washing machine cleaner, Cillit Bang Mould Spray is a versatile household product you can use in any damp, hard-to-reach areas where mould may be present.

The best way to sort out the problem is by picking up a washing machine cleaner that gets rid of nasties inside the machine. Then there’s the fact that using liquid detergents and fabric softener can cause a sticky waxy build up on the inside of the washing machine drum – again, a bigger problem when machines are mainly used at low temperatures. It will even remove mildew from around the drum and door, plus any tricky residues clogging up the machine. Animal lovers will also be happy to learn that this product is free from animal testing and approved by Cruelty-Free International.
