From pushchairs to vacuum cleaners, we've tested hundreds of products in real homes with real families. Head over to Mumsnet Reviews to find out which ones came out on top.
Where can I buy AJAX or VIM from?
(16 Posts)I know they are old fashioned but I need them for a diy project I am doing
TIA

I've not seen Vim in ages, but you can often find Ajax in supermarkets and old-fashioned hardware stores. Though come to think of it I haven't bought any in several years, as last time I bulk-bought.
Thanks
I think it might not be made anymore - which is a shame as it's a really good scourer (sp?)
I'm sure they must still do Ajax or Vim - those canisters with holes in the tin top - good stuff ! Will look out for it.
"barkeepers friend" may work as a substitute if you can't find them. It's about the only scoury type powder I've seen around. HTH
i'm sure i've seen it in my local tesco
plain old bicarb of soda is also an excellent scourer
Really - I'd have to buy a huge tub of it
They sell VIM in my local Somerfields. It's not a big tub, though. It's a standard bottle size.
That would be fine (thinking where is Somerfield).....It would just have been a very large tub of Bicarb
you can also buy Vim on ebay although you have to pay postage that way!!
VIM
THEY DONT SELL IT ANYMORE
TESCOS DONT HAVE IT ANYMOER
IT IS A DISASTER
luckily my local farmers shop still does it
tried wilkinsons?
I found this thread while searching for Vim, so I thought I'd share the fact that I found it successfully at B&Q and Wilko.

I hope this helps those who were also lookng for it.
VIM can be bought on Amazon. Look under Vim clorex. I got mine for £2.90 (free postage on multiple items over £20.00) Note container is 850 grams. (Old one was 500 grams.) It is currently priced at £3.09.
It is now manufactured in Spain under the German Henkel Group.
I use it for cleaning the shower as I find most modern cleaners expensive & don't do the job. It does NOT damage your tiles etc.
Hi
You can buy both Ajax and Vim on ebay. I still either.
