    i use green fairy liquid and find it cleans grease very well, if there is any stubborn spots I add salt/sugar for the extra abrasive action

    I am going to have to do my food cupboards as well am hoping to get it done on my day off this week

    Sugar Soap wipes from B&Q - or the bottled stuff.
  • I swear by Fairy Power Spray - shifts most things really easyily but is quite dear, about £3 I think.

    Cilit do two types.

    The one with the green lid is loads loads better than the normal one.

    Take great care with Caustic Soda it is really corrosive if not rinsed well. If you do use it take great care, it burns and will destroy certain materials.

  • Sugar soap. Plus a washing up sponge for non stick pans and a cloth soaked in clean, hot water for removing the residue.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Use distilled clear vinegar - costs 40p a pint or so and can be bought in every supermarket.

    Any surface and room it'll work on with ease.

    Bit of bicarb, a sponge and a toothbrush for small spaces and it's job done.

    Wood, glass, paint, metal etc cleans to a nice refreshing sparkle plus it's anti fungal, bacterial & non hazardous to health.

    I said Morrisons value kitchen cleaner but it's actually Morrisons value all-purpose cleaner, or its Sainsbury's, Tescos or Asda equivalent. It only costs 25-30p for a bottle and takes off congealed grease incredibly easily.

    Sainsbury's sell a spray bottle of kitchen cleaner which is very similar or identical and what I do is refill it with the above as it costs quite a bit less to refill than buying a new spray bottle.

    This is the Tescos version, all of these own brand cleaners come in the same shape bottle and I assume they all have the same stuff inside:
