Boy, do I owe these guys an apology When I first got this product, I tried it out on a few things and wasn’t impressed. It worked all right, but no better than products which cost less. I was about to write a three star review – okay, but not worth the price – when a tenant moved out of the rental house we own.He had lived there four years and was a three-pack a day smoker. You should have seen the place. The nicotine stains didn’t show so badly on the wood-paneled walls (though you could sure smell it), but the windows had so many little brown globules, you could hardly see through them. I tried the standard cleaners, homemade and store-bought, and while some worked better than others, it was clear I was in for a lot of work (or a big cleaning bill). As a last resort, I grabbed the Krud Kutter and gave it a try.One squirt on the windows and little brown rivulets were pouring down. All I had to do was wipe them off. It worked well on other surfaces, too. So well, in fact, that I gave it another try at my house, and found it was enough better than the cheaper products that it was worth the slight difference in price. Now I keep one bottle in the kitchen and another in my bathroom.
Extremely average Reviewers often baffle the reader of cleaning product reviews with statements like “greatest product ever made” and “removed 3 foot deep 100 year old dried elephant dung without any scrubbing” while, at the opposite end of the spectrum, we find “had to scrub for six hours to get a fingerprint off the door handle.” Some of these people have fallen for the already mentioned hyperbole and truly expect easy and fast even though they haven’t cleaned their oven for several years. Others are impressed by anything with any cleaning capability whatsoever. Keeping this in mind, I’ll try to give you an idea of this product’s effectiveness on specific kinds and degrees of crud. Here goes:Dried latex paint on a wooden floor: softened it enough in ten minutes to peel off the paint that had fallen in little, raised drops. The paint that had been accidentally spread thinly over the top of the wood floor was scrubbed off with a gentle scouring pad, but took a little of the finish off the wood as well.Greasy stovetop: Cleaned up easily, but not any better than other, similar cleaners (including some from the dollar store).Baked on oven grease: Did nothing at all, whether wiped off immediately or left to soak in for a half hour. Scrubbing didn’t increase the effectiveness, though I did try.Greasy painted woodwork: You’ve all had the sensation of wiping over the surface of grease rather than actually removing it, which is what happened here. I tried leaving it on to soak for 15 minutes, but it did no better. I got the best results by putting very hot water and dish detergent into a spray bottle, shaking it up, and spraying it on while wiping immediately afterwards. I reheated the bottle periodically in the microwave to keep it hot, and this did a great job (not to mention being very cheap).Food stains: Tried this on a lower part of kitchen cabinets where I’d dropped a dish and splashed the surface. I didn’t notice it until the following day, so there were long streaks where the liquid had run down, and thick drops at the bottom. It removed the streaks and about half of the hardened drops, but the rest had to be scrubbed vigorously.Wax: I use candles at the dinner table and sometimes get wax on the tablecloth. This did nothing to remove it.Laundry stains: I’ve used this on at least a half dozen different kinds of stains, all of which were mentioned on the container. I found it about as effective as the average laundry stain remover, not in any way exceptional.Mildew: I gave it a try although, if you have a mildew-prone bathroom as I do, you may have already discovered that the only thing helpful is bleach diluted with water and sprayed on the surfaces. This did nothing at all to remove or prevent mildew.In all, I found this product cleaned reasonably well, but not better than products for which I’ve paid much less. Admittedly, I haven’t tried every single usage mentioned on the container, so perhaps there is something it cleans well enough to justify the price.
Do you have red dirt? Soap scum? I’ve never found anything that would remove the red dirt/iron stain from siding before finding this product. It gets the stain off everything I’ve tried it on. It does a great job, even gets the stain off my shoes. It also removes hair spray from the bathroom vanity and cleans the shower to a sparkling finish–just spray, leave for a minute or two, and rinse off with a wet cloth. Lots of other products say they get rid of soap scum easily, but I’ve tried many of them and they don’t work very well, if at all. I’ve tried many products on the hair spray, too, and could only remove it with lots of scrubbing. With this product, it wipes right off. This is great stuff.
