Astonish oven spray cleaner orange bottle

andygb

I used to buy the Astonish oven cleaner spray in the orange plastic bottle, but my supply has run out and I cannot seem to find it anywhere. It used to be £1 from the usual outlets, and it really worked, particularly on oven doors and other greasy surfaces.
I bought some CillitBang degreaser spray yesterday, and all I can say, is that it doesn't work and is rubbish.
Does anyone have a favourite degreasing spray which works, because I really don't want to have to resort to the Gunk engine degreaser in the kitchen:D

Not sure if you know but the Astonish cleaning products are all in blue bottles now and all look similar, they recently changed the labels. I have seen the oven cleaning spray in Yorkshire Trading, they also do a oven cleaning paste which is good.

I'd recommend Elbow Grease (it's really called that!) - yellow liquid in a clear bottle. Usually £1 from Home bargains or similar

Sugar soap (decorating section) for a wide range of filthy or greasy tasks. Kitchen and bathroom tiles, shower door, windows inside and out, metal window frames, metal Venetian blinds, cooker hood grease filters, enamel oven trays (not non stick), laminate floors and doors, cat litter tray ...

My city centre street is basically a bus terminus. Diesel exhaust fumes are greasy like nicotine. I have to deep clean once or twice a year, depending on window opening! So I am not just tackling the usual household muck.

Wilko sells sugar soap in a spray bottle, but cheaper to fill your own bottle if you have one. Pound shop sugar soap is thinner, but does the job. I use sugar soap neat for some tasks, diluted for others.

Oven Pride for cleaning the oven. A gel not a spray tho.

Thanks for all the replies.
I just about got the job done today, by squirting the CillitBang onto the surfaces (cooker hood, plus the filter covers), leaving them a while and then filling the sink with hot water and adding a good amount of Fairy Liquid (you can't beat the old faithful). There was very little grease build up on the sponge, and the cooker hood is looking like new.
I ended up putting the hood filter covers in the dishwasher and they came out great.
