AstonishAstonish The Good One Cleaning Paste, Multi-Purpose For Full Home Clean, Fast Acting, Natural Ingredients, Fresh Mint Scent, 500g

I've now used this for everything from removing tannin stains from tea cups to cleaning the oven, removing the grotty grout in my Mum's bathroom, and making trainers look like new. It's non-toxic, so it's safe to use around small children and pets or by those with respiratory conditions. It's wonderful to be able to clean a grotty oven without worrying about the inhalation of any nasty fumes.It's fantastic stuff with the effective cleaning power of old-school Ajax or Vim, but it does not scratch up surfaces like they did, so the bottoms of your nicest cooking pans will look like new, and it won't scratch your acrylic bath. I'm particularly impressed with how nicely it's brought up my ancient stainless steel kitchen sink and draining board. Use to clean stained wood before buffing up with olive oil, and you'll never know the surface was ever harmed.A bit of patience was required to bring our old rusty iron BBQ up to as new standard, ready for seasoning, after we'd carelessly left it out exposed to the elements all winter, but it was not the awful chore I'd anticipated, and I only had to rub gently instead of scrubbing away like a banshee as you normally would. I've found it also works wonders on tired grout, and am finally happy with the as new condition of my ancient PVC window frames.It reeks to high doh of peppermint essential oil, which is weird cos you may have to remind yourself that you are not smothering your hob in toothpaste. However, this pungent scent comes with a hidden advantage since midges, mice, and rats hate the smell of mint. This makes it ideal to use on your PVC window frames in high summer, and your skirting boards at any time.I've found that for all applications, I need less of it than I expected, which makes it not only eco-friendly and plastic-free but much more economical than you'd think, too. It's the perfect product for an era when so many of us are struggling financially. Deffo worth buying if you want to do a proper old-school Spring or end-of-tenancy clean to a standard that would satisfy even your Great-Grandmother.Once you have opened it the first time, always wipe the lid and edge of the tin with a nice, clean cloth. That way, you'll be able to get the lid off again for all future uses. The very tight lid noted by several other reviewers does thankfully loosen a bit over time, which makes it much easier. My 87-year-old Mum is resigned to using my half-full pot, so the lid is very easy to get off, as she has very arthritic hands these days. That gives me the excuse needed to purchase a new pot for myself.Lastly, it is plastic-free, eco-friendly, and non-toxic, and manufactured right here in the UK.

Though I would give it a try, I have reactions to most cleaners. This is amazing though, my hands are a little dry. No reaction though, cleaners really well. Smell was lovely, not over powering and doesn't linger.

Very effective and good value for money

It’s great for all cleaning jobs around the house - I actually learned about it from a professional cleaner who swears by it. I cleaned my stained kitchen counters with it (pretty cheap counters in a rental property that are pretty porous and get stained quickly) and removed all the staining. I also used to to clean the over and it removed all the grease, including some really old that that I wasn’t able to remove with other products. Cleaned my stainless steal kitchen sink and made it look and shine like new. Smells great, too, very minty.

Excelent product,easy to use,leaves a good finish.

I have always recommended astonish products to everyone, but the replacement paste cleaner , called 'the good one' will not be recommended at all. It's rubbish. The only thing good about it is the smell, which is peppermint and yummy. The cleaner doesn't work nearly as well as the original and I will not be buying again. The search begins for a good replacement all round paste cleaner.

I had stains on furniture at home that I just couldn’t shift with other cleaning products. I saw a local cleaning company recommend this so thought I’d buy to try before I replaced the stained items. Absolutely brilliant. You only need a tiny amount and it cleaned everything up so looks brand new again! Saved me a fortune!

Great for cleaning all sorts of stuff, and pleasant smell. BUT... the tin is thin metal. The lid is very hard to get off, and once off, even harder to get back on. Tin is now bent, as is lid, therefore contents will probably dry out unless I transfer to another container. Sometimes plastic IS best!
