How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?

Very easy to use

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

It cleaned my bathroom to a good standard.

  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

I use parazone wipes when I'm doing a quick clean. I have to admit they are the first thing I grab to do a quick clean.

  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?

It's probably more than I would pay. It's quite small compared to other cleaners.

  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?

I got the bathroom cleaner which can be used on glass and shower screens so it 's a multi-use product already.

  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

I liked the design although I was a bit worried the kids might think it was hand wash so made sure I put it away.

  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?

Overall I liked it but I think I would stick with my parazone wipes there so convenient.

er,easy once I had worked it out!

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner

cleaning wise,yes,it worked. used on surfaces and oven top,table etc.

Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

yes,used it about 6-7 times a day. I left the bottle on the windowsill and just took some each time without the hassle of going in the cupboard.

The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not

to be honest,no,not unless I had some money off vouchers. Smile.on a budget and its quite expensive.

Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?

a polish version might be nice.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

iliked the smell and bottle design

If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?

I think I would just because its a bit different to other cleaners.

CointreauVersial · 01/09/2013 20:48

I'm testing the Kitchen cleaner, which arrived a couple of days ago:

  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?

Very easy to use. I absolutely love the dispensing method; so easy and hands-free. Genius. However, it was tricky to know how much was on the cloth, as you don't see it come out, so I tended to use two or three sprays each time.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

Pretty good. It dealt with the aftermath of a chocolate fondue this afternoon. I do use it with a wet cloth, so it is aided and abetted by a little water. BUT it left my granite worktops very streaky if left to dry naturally, so I had to polish it dry each time, so I probably am not getting the anti-bac benefit. For this reason, it might be better as a bathroom product.

  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

No more often; I used it in place of my regular cleaning spray. I use it whenever I wipe up in the kitchen (i.e. several times a day).

  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?

Yes, I probably will, mainly because of the brilliant dispensing. But I am already seeing the level of the bottle drop, so I'm not sure how long it will last. I might well buy the bathroom one too, to use in place of wipes.

  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?

Not really.

  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

The dispenser. It smelled nice too.

  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?

Maybe, but it's not something I really talk about!

Other comments - it wasn't made clear on the packaging whether to use with a wet or dry cloth. I used it with my dishcloth, which is generally damp, and it seemed to be OK.

Also, I thought the bottle was a very unappealing colour - bogey yellow. I know it's supposed to "blend" with your kitchen, but it sits on the sink beside the washing up liquid, so no point trying to disguise what it is, really.....

WildThongsHeartString · 01/09/2013 20:55

I found it extremely easy to use (kitchen tester) and it is effective on grease splashes on my stainless steel hob as well as the usual normal wiping over work tops and surfaces. I will use it more often as its so accessible. I like to use kitchen towel then bin it. I will definitely buy the bathroom one as well. It smells quite nice, it's quick and easy to use and the compact size means ill be able to leave one in each bathroom as well as the kitchen one.

muddledsheep · 01/09/2013 21:09

I found it really easy to use and particularly liked being able to use it one handed. It was effective on the bathroom sink, taps and toilet leaving them all sparkly clean with a subtle fragrance.

I probably used it more often as its living on top of the toilet and whenever I went in the bathroom, would wipe over the loo seat or sink.

Not worried about having a mr muscle for other areas. Would buy it again but probably only on offer and I would recommend but only if it came up in conversation. Thank you for the sample, I enjoyed trying it out!

pennylovesleonard · 01/09/2013 21:12
  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
really easy! no spills or mess and I think its a really good design.
  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I was a bit surprised at how good it was at cleaning! I only needed a little to make my sink sparkling clean!
  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

I use it more as its so easy. quick and simple. I have a quick wipe whilst my daughters in the bath or when im washing up.

  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
it is a little more than I usually spend but I would buy it again but look for a special offer.
  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
maybe for dusting?
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
the clean squirty dispenser!
  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
yes definitely - its great!
josette · 01/09/2013 21:38

Mine came yesterday Smile
It was the kitchen one.
I liked the idea: the fact that you could use folded kitchen towel to clear up little spills but I don't think I would use it as my main kitchen cleaning product. I would consider it to be an 'extra' and I am not sure that I would spend the money.
I liked the look of the product and the smell.

Nigglenaggle · 01/09/2013 21:49
  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Very easy. Its a nice bottle design liked that alot. It did surprise me with a sneaky squirt when I opened it as came unlocked.
  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner? I have the kitchen cleaner. It may well be an entirely useful disinfectant, however I'm afraid against the dirt in our kitchen wasn't much good at helping get it shifted. I will admit we have an exceptionally dirty kitchen!! However on DCs high chair I found a baby wipe more effective at removing dirt. Also it recommends leaving the surface wet for 5 minutes - I had to use quite alot of product to acheive this - it probably won't last 250 'cleanings'
  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner? Yes probably a little. Partly of course because I know I am doing this test, but I think having the bottle there handy does mean I clean more.
  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
Probably not. I need something that will help me physically remove dirt and this doesn't. While we do disinfect from time to time, I don't see the advantage of having something that just disinfects and doesn't help clean.
  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
Not for other areas, just a better kitchen cleaner.
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
The bottle design is really nice and I liked the fragrance
  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
I might mention the bottle, but can't recommend the cleaner.
chickorita · 01/09/2013 22:12

I tested the bathroom cleaner.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

Worked really well on my sink and taps - which came up really shiny. The mirror was left streak free, so overall I found it really effective.

  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

Due to the design and size of the bottle, it sat nicely on the toilet cistern; so was handy to grab and give everything a quick going over. I found that I was using it pretty much on a daily basis.

  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?

I wouldn't buy it at £2.99 as I think that is quite expensive compared to other cleaners - especially given the size.

  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?

No

  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

I like the overall design and ease of use.

  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?

Yes, I would recommend it for its ease of use and convenience.

starfishmummy · 01/09/2013 22:26

Arrived yesterday so have used it once around the bathroom for the purposes of the test.

Am unsure about the bottle - is it meant to be left out for easy use? If so I am worried that my child would think it is a soap dispenser. Took several pumps to get enough product on my cloth to get it more than damp and whilst doing this product squirted up my arm. Not impressed.

To be frank it didn't seem to clean any better than a wet cloth and I can't see me either buying it or recommending it to anyone. I can use a small squirt of my regular bathroom cleaner to do a better job and whlist I can use that for small touch ups, I don't feel I could use touch up cleaner for the big jobs and I don't need two products when one will do the job.

Testing the kitchen cleaner

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Very easy, just weird being upside down.

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
To be honest about the same as other products, nothing amazing.

Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Yes, because it is just sat on the side, was quick and easy. I would say I used it about 4/5 times a day so far.

The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cl Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
No, there are other cheaper products that do the same cleaning wise, its just the convenience of having it sat out ready.

Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
Would be good if they could make a handsoap like this.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
The ease of having it on the side without rooting through the under sink dungeon.

If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
I would mention the convenience, and the nice smell.

lolapops1 · 02/09/2013 08:59

Loving this product very much,it is so easy to use and quick too. Anything that saves me time has a big thumbs up!
Great that you can just use paper towels and then throw away cuts down on washing as well.
Not overly keen on the fragrance,it's not that it is unpleasant it's just a strange fragrance but not enough to put me right off it.
Would recommend this product to anyone.

spicers1976 · 02/09/2013 09:15

I received a bottle of Mr Muscle Bathroom and Toilet touch up cleaner

  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?

The bottle has a great design which makes it easy to use. The first time I used it, I put too much on my cloth as I wasn't sure if enough of the product had come out of the bottle due to the design, but I soon realised I didn't need much to clean the bathroom.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

The cleaner is great for wiping away small marks made from toothpaste, shower gel etc. When it came to marks that had been left for a little while, I found that I needed to leave the mark as per the instructions on the packet and then it cleaned very well.

  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

I thought the touch up cleaner was a great idea to be able to give the sink and bathroom a quick wipe over with once a day which helped keep the bathroom looking a lot cleaner in between deep cleans, and also it was anti bacterial.

  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?

The price is a little more than I usually look to spend on a cleaner, but as it has the potential to last a long time due to the little amount you need, then I would consider it at this price as it has made my bathroom cleaning less tiresome.

  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?

I would look to using the kitchen version, as the design of the bottle makes it quick and easy to use and you're not spreading germs around by picking up the bottle all the time.

  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

The design of the bottle, and the fact I didn't have to pick it up to use it, making it very hygenic to use.

  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?

Yes I would due to the design of the bottle, not because of the price though.

LittleMissSnowShine · 02/09/2013 09:19

Things I liked:

  • The fragrance
  • I spilled some on my hand and it didnt sting or cause a rash whereas a lot of kitchen / bathroom cleaners do so it seems to contain less harsh chemicals
  • Was particularly useful at lifting anything that dried on top of the hob or in the sink

Things I was less keen on

  • The design of the pump bottle, dont know why but I tend to prefer a spray with an on / off switch

Would I recommend?
Yes, probably

Would I buy again?

Pump design would put me off but yes, possibly

tinypumpkin · 02/09/2013 09:36

Have received it (eventually) and will update this evening!

PuzzleRocks · 02/09/2013 09:59

Thank you MNHQ and Mr Muscle for the opportunity.

  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Very easy but I do feel I prefer being able to how much has dispensed. When I use a trigger spray I can cover the surface before wiping. Pumping into a cloth and applying to a counter felt a bit alien to me.
  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I found it to be very effective but then I did soak the cloth with product as I tend to use a lot of trigger spray and with this method I found myself pumping and pumping to ensure enough cleaner was getting onto the surfaces.
  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I use it every time I wiped down the kitchen counters which is after every use and given how much we snack that was quite frequently. I think it works quite well as an intermediary product when you don?t need a proper clean just a quick wipe down. I use it for a more intensive clean and found it to be a bit frustrating but I appreciate that is not it?s intended purpose. It just made me wonder why I would bother with two products. I can?t see a clear advantage.
  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
Given that my usual trigger spray is £1.35 for a 500ml bottle I think it is unlikely. I?m afraid I just don?t see the point.
  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
Not really, I use the same multipurpose trigger spray for all areas and bleach where necessary. I find this works perfectly well for me.
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I rather liked the smell.
  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
Probably not, it doesn?t do anything you can't get from a cheaper product and it doesn't fulfill any need.
PuzzleRocks · 02/09/2013 10:01

Can I add, and this is probably just me but, "touch-up" is not a great name, sounds creepy to my ears. Spruce, or something similar sounds better.

craftynclothy · 02/09/2013 10:10

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
It was easy to use. I preferred to use a few pumps so that the cloth felt soaked in the product.

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I was a little disappointed. Dh seemed to like it though. Personally I found that it wasn't anymore effective than using hot water. It didn't clean grease well at all. I found it was reasonably good for worktops and the table/chairs. I think perhaps Dh was happier to accept that as its purpose, where I felt that there wasn't really any reason to bother with it over some hot water. I wasn't keen on the scent as it seemed very fake and overly strong.

Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I used it quite often, in part to test it thoroughly but also because we had a big sort out of the kitchen and the cupboards. It was definitely easier to use it more often than normal cleaning spray, purely because it sat on the worktop and was therefore more accessible.

The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
Probably not. I don't think it cleaned well enough for me to use it as my main cleaner so I probably wouldn't bother with it. It's much cheaper to use hot soapy water. I really wanted to love it because of the dispenser but it would have to clean far better than it did.

Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
I might have been more tempted by the bathroom cleaner given the lack of cleaning power for the kitchen one. I do find that I'm more likely to use cleaning wipes over the bathroom than most other areas. I find that a quick wipe of the sink each morning after use keeps it a lot cleaner for little effort. I can't think of anywhere else I'd like a similarly designed cleaner for.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
The dispenser.

If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
Probably not. I didn't think it cleaned well enough to recommend it.

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 02/09/2013 10:14

I was delighted to receive my Kitchen Cleaner.

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Dead easy - just turn the lid, press and go.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
It smells lovely and wipes up any spills, sticky or greasy marks very easily.
  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I don't think I've used it more than I would my usual spray cleaner, to be honest. I tend to give all the worksurfaces a quick squirt of Flash (or supermarket equivalent!) from a spray bottle when supper is finished every evening and the Touch-up Cleaner really only does the same job as that.
  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
I as I said above, I usually use an all-purpose cleaner in a spray bottle, which works out much, much cheaper. However, the bottle is attractive and whilst I might not use it in the kitchen - as that is cleaned every day anyway - I think having one in the bathroom might be useful, so I might well invest in one of those and see how useful I find it.
  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
I can't think of anywhere!
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
The design of the bottle is attractive and it smells nice.
  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
Well, I would, but not because it is a miracle product - just because it looks nice!
cather · 02/09/2013 10:31

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Once I'd worked out where it came out of (it sprayed everywhere the first time I tried it!) it was really easy to use

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
It was really good at getting rid of toothpaste marks from the sink. You did need quite a bit of toilet roll so it is more efficient with a cloth.

Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Because I left it on the side I used it a couple of times a day to touch up dirty marks that I spotted during the day.

The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
I would buy it again as it has really helped me keep on top of the bathroom cleaning although I might stock up if it is on offer!

Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
I can't think of any

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
It didn't look like a normal bathroom cleaner and it looked ok left out. Because of this I used it more.

If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
Yes and I aready have,

babybearsmummy · 02/09/2013 10:47
  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
The cleaner is really easy to use, I usually have difficulty with spray bottles as I have slight arthritis in my hands and this cleaner was so much easier to use and I didn't struggle with it in the slightest!
  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I found it really effective on general splashes and spills and found surfaces wiped down very well with it, leaving a nice, fresh smell. The only problem I have with its effectiveness is that sometimes I like to spray and leave cleaners for a little while (e.g on the oven top) to really soak out the dirt and make it easy to wipe away, but with the Mr Muscle, you apply it to a cloth first, so I found it took a few applications and quite a bit of scrubbing to get tough dirt off of a surface! So I think it's best as just a general 'wipe over' cleaner.
  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I used it a lot more for general spills and wiping up as I found it easier to use than spray bottles, I found myself using it on a daily basis, mainly in the kitchen, wiping down surfaces after prepping food or doing the dishes and also used it to wipe down my daughter high chair after her meals.
  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?
I think I would, that sounds like really good value for money. It's not a product which has to be sprayed onto a surface lavishly so there's hardly any waste and so it lasts a very long time and is very effective for the cleaning I was using it for, so yes I would buy it again!
  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?
Windows would be a good one! My little girl is always touching windows so if there was a Mr Muscle window cleaner in the same type of bottle I'd buy it. Also maybe one for really tough stains, especially for the oven etc.
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
How it was so easy to use, I didn't struggle to open or dispense it. It's lasting such a long time too as there's no wastage when applied directly to a cloth, it also smells nice and fresh too and really works well for general 'touch up' cleaning!
  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?
Absolutely, for all the reasons above, it really is a great product, easy to use, works well, good value for money, doesn't take up too much cupboard space! The list goes on!!

Can I also add that I really preferred this over my usual spray cleaner as I have a 1 year old daughter and always feel vary wary about using a spray anti-bacterial etc around her incase some of the spray lands on her or she breathes it in, but with the touch up cleaner I wasn't worried about using it around her as it didn't go anywhere other that the cloth, it just seemed a little safe to be using when cleaning with a little one crawling behind haha!

Thank you so much for this test!

Belo · 02/09/2013 10:58

Bathroom Cleaner:

  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?

I like the way you can use the cleaner one handed- very useful with 18 month old in tow. However, on tougher stains the instructions state to leave a fair amount of cleaner on the stain for 5 minutes, I found it tricky to get enough liquid onto the stain compared to a regular spray cleaner.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

As above- the cleaner worked well to shine the sink and taps, but would probably need another product for tougher stains.

  • Did you find that you used Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner more regularly than your other cleaning products or not? If so, how often did you use Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

Have only just received the cleaner, so will report back for this question. However, in the bathroom I do like the idea of daily touch ups rather than a big weekly scrubbing session so plan to use daily at least.

  • The RRP for the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner is £2.99, do you think you'll be likely to buy it again or not? If so, why? If not why not?

I love the smell and the bottle has a nice enough appearance to leave out, £2.99 is not cheap but I would definitely buy if on offer. May buy regularly if I find I have success with tougher stains.

  • Mr Muscle Touch-Up cleaner is currently available for the kitchen and bathroom. Would you like Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner for other areas of your house? If so, which areas?

A multi purpose cleaner, for wood (bookcases, mantelpiece, window sills etc) would be good- I can imagine using one of those regularly, especially with the easy to use bottle shape.

  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

The smell and the bottle.

  • If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to your friends/family? If so why? If not, why not?

Yes, I would recommend but for people who clean daily rather than weekly probably.
