We received the blue bathroom cleaner.

  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use? - very easy, loved the style, shape of the bottle and so easy to just put a cloth on top and get some product. You don't even have to touch the bottle so can do it one handed - great idea, very unique
  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner? - great, it was really effective at quick wipe round the sink, top of toilet, bathroom shelf, mirrors etc. Because it's kept out on the surface it's so easy to do a quick touch up clean when you go in the bathroom, really handy and gives a clean, fresh finish.
  • 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 definitely - I used it most days to wipe around the sink etc.
  • 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'd like to buy it again but does cost a little more than the usual spray cleaner I would buy. I'll see how long this one lasts me and I'll probably be tempted after that as I'm so used to it and love it's ease of use.
  • 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 think those 2 variants would cover most of my needs - can't think of any other that I would use at the moment.
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner? - the ease of use, just put your cloth on and push down and the product is dispensed onto the cloth. Really does make for a quick clean round and it looks ok left out on the side.
  • 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, I think it's a really unique, new idea that has been really successful in my household. Both myself and my husband love it and have found it make our busy lives with 2 young children that little bit easier. As it's out on the side people do notice it as well and wonder what it is, so it lends itself to an opportunity to tell others about it. People are intrigued and want a go themselves. This is a wonderful idea, the bottles are compact, easy to use and never fall over. Well done Mr Muscle!!
JaquelineHyde · 09/09/2013 12:09

Finally got mine and have been able to use it! So here is my two pennies worth...

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use? Very easy but I preferred using it on a dry cloth/kitchen towel than on a damp dish cloth as I couldn't really tell how much I was using unless the cloth was dry.

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner? Very effective, it cut through the grease easily on all my 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 used it just as much as my other cleaners initially but then found myself using it more and more to clean single items rather than just surfaces.

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? £2.99 doesn't sound too bad at all, probably in line with most surface cleaners. I will wait to see how long it lasts me before I decide for certain but right now, yes I would buy at that price.

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'm not sure another area is needed as you just use it all over the house any way.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner? How easily it cut through stubborn grease and dirt as well as just using it for a general surface wipe around.

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, the bottle sits nicely by the sink, is easy to use, cleans well and up to now appears to be good value for money.

WeAreEternal · 09/09/2013 12:18

I still haven't received mine. :(

But it's apparently on offer in morrisons so I am going to go and buy some so that I can do my review.

Wigeon · 09/09/2013 13:16

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

It was easy to use. The pump worked fine.

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

It worked well in the kitchen.

- 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'm not sure I did use it more than my regular anti-bacterial spray. Possibly slightly more - I might previously have just wiped up a smaller area / a small spill with water, but as I was testing this, I sometimes used the touch-up cleaner on the cloth instead of just water.

- 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 that's a good price but I'm not sure I'll buy it again - see below.

- 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. I think I would only buy it for the kitchen, and not for the bathroom or other areas.

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

It was certainly convenient and I am keeping it out on the surface rather than in a cupboard. I like the discrete packaging. However, it's not that much hassle opening the cupboard under the sink to get the usual kitchen spray when I'm cleaning down a kitchen surface or the dining table.

- 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'm not sure I would recommend it - the main thing I didn't like is that you couldn't see how much product you were using. I noticed from the cardboard packaging that if you want to kill bacteria and viruses you have to make the surface wet and then leave for 15 mins - this is fine, but I was unsure how much product I'd left on the surface, or whether I'd only got a very small amount of product and the wetness was just from the damp cloth I was using (damp from water).

I also didn't really like keeping it out on the worktop - I try to have as few things out as possible and it just added to the clutter. I don't mind getting the usual spray out of the cupboard to use.

MildlyMiserable · 09/09/2013 18:11

As a Rhuematoid Arthritis sufferer this product is great for me!
The pump needs very little force and the cleaner is effective.
The face that is has anti bacterial qualities is great as I have a suppressed immune system.
I would buy this product again at the RRP.
I like that the bottle is unobtrusive on the worktop.
It would be good for someone like me with limited use of thei hands if this was also available as a window cleaner.
I would recommend to other R.A. Sufferers for the ease of use.

michelleblane · 09/09/2013 18:51

First posted on 19th August. Just want to add, really like this. Brilliant for spot cleaning. I found at first I was using more than I needed. (Not easy to see how much is coming out of bottle. I have the bathroom cleaner but I have been round all our white painted doors cleaning off grubby fingermarks. Might have a go at the skirting boards too. Works really well on paintwork.

georgieandjess · 09/09/2013 19:12

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

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I found it very 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?

I use it more regularly. I have used it every day since I received it.

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 if it was on offer but not at the normal RRP as it is too expensive for what it is.

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?

For cleaning glass. We have glass doors and they are forever getting grubby hand prints all over them.

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

The bottle, not your normal looking cleaning product

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?d recommend it if it came up in conversation.

GetKnitted · 09/09/2013 20:49

Popping back to answer:

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 have been using the touch-up cleaner daily now it is out on show in the bathroom, more often than my usual product - I normally do a weekly scrub rather than daily touch ups.

Dylanlovesbaez · 10/09/2013 08:55

Worked well and cleared general kitchen yuck well.

Probably not. A little bit more expensive than I would normally spend. However, that said it does seem to last quite well with ver little wastage so I may change my mind as I still have loads left.

Mould perhaps?

I probably would but to be honest it's very unlikely I'd be talking about kitchen cleaner with my friends!
jaamy · 10/09/2013 11:04

I tested the Kitchen Cleaner

-How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Very easy to use, although I wouldn't recommend using kitchen towel as this just absorbs the cleaning liquid. I found it better to use a damp cloth.

- How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Just as effective as standard Mr Muscle Kitchen Cleaner, which we tend to use.

- 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 the cleaner is sitting next to the sink, I tend to use it more than our ordinary kitchen cleaner which is in a cupboard below the sink and very often gets forgotten in lieu of a quick wipe with the dishcloth! Used it most times I was washing up or pottering in kitchen, may be half a dozen 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?
A little too pricey for me, however I would buy if on offer. Also would be more attractive it came in different colours.

- 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, kitchen and bathroom are the two main areas where we use this type of cleaner.

- What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Looks neat and is really easy 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, would recommend to try if they can find it on offer somewhere.

HoneyDragon · 10/09/2013 11:05
  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?

It was easy to use but its effectiveness depends on what cloth you use with it.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
It smelt nice. I found it was very effective for a quick clean of the shower screen but no good for the odd tooth paste blob
  • 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. Other than using it daily on the shower screen.

  • 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 might if it were on offer. I'd consider buying and trying the kitchen one for dirty finger marks, but for the bathroom I'd stick to wipes or a damp cloth.
  • 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 like multi action sprays, so a multi use one for surfaces and floors would be good.

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

I 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?
It would suit my mum for keeping the bathroom clean but not sure I'd recommend it to a one bathroom family.
prakattack · 10/09/2013 11:47

Finally received mine last week so checking in to feed back!

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Really easy, it was very quick and simple to operate

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
About on a par with other cleaners - had to scrub quite a lot when I used it on the hob but that's to be expected really.

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, it was so simple to use and as it was able to be kept discreetly in a corner of the worktop (rather than in a child-locked cupboard), I found myself using it far more often - a couple of times a day at least. usually, i clean surfaces once a day (and sometimes not at all on stressful work days Blush)

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 expensive compared to what I usually use - I'm an Aldi shopper normally - but it does make me clean so I would probably look out for it on offer. Will there be refills available for a cheaper RRP?

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. kitchen and bathroom sounds about right

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Simplicity 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 think I actually would - don't normally say this!

christmasmum · 10/09/2013 19:58

Finally received mine so sorry for late feedback!

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Really easy to use, just press down and you're off.

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Good for little spills, not good for anything dried on, but then I suppose that's not what it's for. I'm not sure about using paper towels with it, that's quite a pricey way to 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?
It was great to keep out on the counter so I did find myself using it quite often.

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 only tend to buy things on offer so the full price is a bit steep.

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?
Can't think where else I'd use it.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Easy to keep out on the counter, doesn't look like a cleaning product that you forgot to put 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?
Probably, if it came up!

ChameleonCircuit · 11/09/2013 11:43

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

Very easy. The bottle is inoffensive enough to leave on show, so no digging in cupboards for it.

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

Very. Got rid of coffee/tea stains with no effort.

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, simply because its out and available - even one handed!

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 would buy it. I use wipes a lot of the time, so I don't think it'd work out any more expensive to use this with kitchen roll.

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?

Wonder if they could do a carpet cleaner one? DH and kids are terrible spillers!

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

The smell and the ease of use/access.

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. It works, and its easy to use.

Fillybuster · 11/09/2013 17:44

Quick update, 2 weeks on:

Kitchen cleaner still going strong - no problems with the pump action, it's lasting really well and I really like not having to spray it all over the place.

Very impressed :)

Thanks again.

johnworf · 11/09/2013 18:27

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

When I first had a look at the bottle I thought it was a bit gimmicky but as I've used it more and more I actually prefer it to the traditional spray bottle.

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

Surprising very good! It doesn't have a strong chemical smell which I guess I would associate with cleaning power.

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 didn't use any other product whilst trying out the Mr Muscle Touch Up. It did everything I needed it to do, even my hob.

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 £2.99 is a fair price for the product. I think an introductory offer would be wise as I think people would think it a bit gimmicky and need to try it out first. I'm sure they'd buy it again after trying it out.

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?

One for floors would be good!

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

There were quite a few things I liked about it; smell not overpowering, didn't smell of chemicals, gentle but effective cleaning. Also, the touch mechanism for dispensing the cleaner directed it straight onto the cloth instead of the normal spray which I find goes all over the place.

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. It's a great product. Thanks for letting me try it out. Smile

georgedawes · 11/09/2013 21:52
  • How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?

the first time I used it I completely got the wrong end of the stick, despite the instructions, and sprayed myself in the face. Fine after that.

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Good cleaner and smelled nice
  • 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 I've used it a lot round the kitchen, more than the normal spray.
  • 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?
Maybe, but it's a bit expensive as we're on a budget.
  • 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? Can't think of any.
  • What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Easy to use and effective.
  • 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, it was easier than normal spray (after I read the instructions properly) and cleaned really well, smelled nice too.
ChocChaffinch · 12/09/2013 09:44

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

I found it really easy to use. the twist clockwise thing was simple, the sticker peeled off easily, and then it was beyond simple to press it down.

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

I think it's a weird hybrid of polish and antibac spray. It doesn't seem like the squirts are v generous, so you do need a couple, then it gets bubbly on a damp cloth. I used it on my -grubby- sink and it was more like a polish than a cleaner, I noticed the packaging said 'precleaning may be required' which seems tiresome, I'd have thought it would've worked better on the steel; so I used it to wipe over the kitchen table, more as a polish/ antibac swipe after breakfast. For me it's more a touch-up polish than a '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 have used it as it is out on the counter, mainly because the packaging is quite swanky and it looks nice so it is to hand, and obviously I am testing it for this thread. I used it on my oak kitchen wine bottle holder unit thing - it only contains bottles of squash but whatever ;-) and it got rid of all of the dusty bits fine. Even though I have a kitchen one, I don't see why I can't use it in the loo/bathroom, I'm going to antibac the wall tiles with it

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 too expensive for me, to be honest I spend £1 on a bottle Dettol or something to give the antibac reassurance, I do like it and it is easy to use but couldn't spring to £3 per bottle. Seems like it's marketed and priced to be a very high end posh cleaner

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?

to be fair I'm going to use my kitchen one everywhere as the smell is nice. It'll do the coffee table and bits in the bathroom, for example. Might be good just to have a general one for efficient cleaning everywhere

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

I like the action to press down, I like the scent, the look of it, I think it should come with 3 cloths at the top of the box for that price, if the cloths were good I would consider buying it if I saw it was all included,

  • 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 a bit expensive, my mum would like it as she antibacs after the dogs a lot at her house; but to be honest I don't think it's a compelling competitor for Dettol spray or the supermarket own antibacterial sprays which are about £1 each and do the same thing

Karen19 · 12/09/2013 10:10

I received the Mr Muscle Bathroom Touch-Up-Cleaner.

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
It is an easy product to use - once you work out how to open the lid, but that is probably just me!

  • How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
It's effective on recent marks but no so good with older ones.
  • 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 did use it more often as it was at hand. You don't need to wear gloves as with other Mr Muscle products so it's just easier and more available to use. I use it daily.
  • 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 probably would buy it but perhaps I would find the kitchen one more useful. In the bathroom sink etc probably just water would do the trick.

Limescale would be a good one.

The design and non obtrusive 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?
Yes as it's convenient and easy to use.

I wouldn't leave it on display with small children around. I think the lid is tricky to tell if it's open or closed and accidents could occur.

I felt the pump action straight onto the cloth worked very well, I found toilet roll great for cleaning round the bathroom as could flush away but it tended to disintegrate so used kitchen roll instead.

worked well on the toothpaste stains in the sink and soap rings

Ease of use, felt the smell was preferable to some cleaners and I didn't mind leaving in the bathroom as it's looked much better than leaving a conventional bottle of bathroom cleaner.

Just updating my earlier report now that I have used it a few more times.

I am mostly using this around my bathroom basin and the ledges around the bath. I stand by my earlier comment that it really doesn't seem to be doing much better than a simple damp cloth.
Sorry Mr Muscle, I don't think this is one of your better products.
