CILLIT BANG CLEANER

  • Has anyone else noticed that the "old penny" that he cleans with it comes out looking like a 5 Euro Cent coin?
    something missing
  • ok this might sound odd, but I'm a CIllit Bang fanatic - I have set up a website dedicted to CIllit Bang and the advert.

    I'm looking for contributions, user experiences, stories, even pictures. Also I've set up a Cillit Bang FAQ page. check it out if you like - I've even printed cillit bang t-shirts!

    Yes I did too.
    Does this qualify as false advertising? Also the ad shows the cleaner removing stains from the paving, yet the bottle advises NOT to use it on stone!
    :eek:

    :( Wish I'd found this page before.

    I bought Cillit Bang in Tesco last week (sorry can't remember how much!), cleaned the bathroom with it & ended up cleaning it again using my usual cleaner!

    thought it was a 25 myself... would also explain the silly name and the dubbed advert

    What type of cooker surface do you have - enamel or whatever?

    I was thinking of using it on the shower; shoudn't it be OK on tiles? Has anyone tried it on tiles?

    Mollytrundle,
    you don't say how exactly the cillit bang has stained your cooker, but (if I'm guessing correctly) you should try making a paste of Bicarb of Soda with water and spread on, leave to dry then wipe off. You can also try this with Cif (or whatever cream cleaner you have), don't scrub, the critical bit is to leave it to dry.... it kind of absorbs stains like a face pack! Worth a shot. Hope it helps.
    Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

    Saw it in Iceland in North London if that helps...

    Sounds a bit daft but you dont still have the bottle do you? If you do can you post the barcode for it?
    I work for Iceland and was told we arent stocking it. I'd like to wipe the grin off the smarmy gits face in product allocation who told me this by giving him the order code (which I can get from the bar code)

    Thanks in advance, even if you dont still have the bottle :D
