Works well, and I know what's in it!
Pros
It's cheap, local, and with a dash of dish washing liquid does a perfectly adequate job. The acetic acid (vinegar) has mild grease-cutting and anti-bacterial/anti-fungal properties. I've been successfully using it on my kitchen benches for years.
On the other hand you could use the top-rated Mr Muscle, but it's imported from Vietnam and contains quaternary ammonium compounds, diisopropanolamine, polyoxypropylene methyl diethyl ammonium chloride, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, isotridecanol polyglycol ether, tetrasodium iminodisuccinate, and fragrance. Not in my kitchen thanks!
Cons
It's mildly acidic, so don't use it on marble benchtops.
Recommend it?
