    Never bought it, but from what I can make out, it is probably just potassium carbonate, (hence the K in Koh?) which will work in a very similar way to sodium carbonate (washing soda). With my science head on and looking at the name - I do wonder if they've sneaked a bit of potassium hydroxide into the mix for extra cleaning power. 
    I'm highly sceptical of its "magical properties" though, ordinary soda crystals are a lot cheaper and work well enough.

    Sorry Ive not come back to this, the thread was marked as spam and as a newbie I got a holiday 


    Well me mum bought it, she does get sucked in, and tbh its not work the money

    For the clean ovens they are showing with just a wipe? Well there is actually a block of wet and dry sandpaper and the microfibre clothes have a scrubby corner

    Id say save your money and if the oven is that bad ( as mine usually is ) buy oven pride , or just use a block of wet/dry sandpaper and ant squirt stuff you have at home already
