The Best Kitchen Cleaner By Zelda on Dec 19, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This is what I call a ‘Must Have' for everyone with a kitchen and/or bathroom that they hate cleaning. I have a glass top stove that means that the burners are hidden. Great for cooking, not so well for cleaning. The glass surface scratches easily, this posed a big problem for me.

If anything spilled and/or burned on the surface of the stove, it was next to impossible to clean without the aid of an abrasive. My mom recommended that I try Vim. She has a lot of Marble surfaces in her house, those too scratch easily. She found Vim.

This nifty little cleaner has a pleasant light lemony fragrance to it. The soft and gentle cream cleaner is extremely easy on the surfaces, yet extremely tough on dirt, grime, grease and whatever else life throws your way. The product only costs about $1.89 for a 500ml bottle, definitely a good value for your money. The directions on the bottle are really easy to follow too, just squirt the cleaner onto the dirty surface or a damp sponge.

Then you just rub, rinse and wipe clean. Like many cleaners, this one comes with a warning on the label. It tells you to take special care when cleaning painted enamels, aluminum and other soft surfaces, and on delicate or specialty surfaces. There is one more plus about this product; it is phosphate free, which makes it a little less harsh on the environment. This is definitely a product that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
