Nope not had mine either

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
It was easy to use and i find it interesting that it came up with the new design of opening it. It was good that it had a lock system as well so that small children could not access it easily.

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
Very effective.I used it for the bathroom and the dining area. It was easy to use the toilet paper to clean the sink and wipe around the loo. For the dining, I used the kitchen towel to wipe the glass table.Very good but the first few times,I realise that when I squirt a few times, the paper would get all soggy.I guess I squirt too much or I just use more paper next time.And I love the smell of the product comparing to the original Mr Muscle 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?
Definitely. Love the new design and the smell.Plus I trust the product when it says it kills 99.9% of the bacteria. It is good when you have many children at home.

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 find it a bit expensive for the product though I love the design.I will buy it if it was around £2.

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 have already started using it around the dining room and love it.Other than that, I am not sure at the moment.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
The design and the small size so that I could put it around my window sill.
.
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.As it cleans effectively and the new design makes it easy to use.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take part in this trial.Love it!!

not received mine either....think i'll give up on this one!

Still waiting to get mine

MNHQ - When are the rest of us due to get these? I got the "congratulations" email almost two weeks ago

Nothing arrived here either.

None here either... Bit odd lots have received and some of us got the emails weeks ago hut are still waiting.
Any idea what's happened mnhq?

*but

I've reported my post, so hopefully have an answer soon.

Still waiting...

My neighbour had taken mine in so today I finally get to play!

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

Very easy to use and very convenient

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

It was actually a lot more effective than I expected, especially on certain areas that always seem to get grubby within about 2 of a deep 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 only got it this morning but have already used it 4 times! The novelty might wear off but I like the fact I can just grab a bit of tissue and attack with little or no effort. The idea of a touch up cleaner is much more appealing than I thought it would be.

• 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 would but I would wait until it was on a 3 for 2 offer or use a coupon. I can imagine us getting through it quite quickly. It does look like a cross between pump soap and mouthwash so I would still keep it behind the toilet rather than on show.

• 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?

Inside the toilet bowl itself, that is something I have been looking for to replace using heavy duty bleach every day.

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

How easy it is to use with any cloth or tissue.

• 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?

Yep, would happily recommend so far

Still nothing for me :(

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
Very easy indeed, just one simple action.

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

It was totally effective, removed dried on toothpaste 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?

Yes, i used it after every brush of teeth & sometimes inbetween, it was so easy to use and made the big weekly clean so much quicker.

• 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 but i would be looking for it on offer as £2.99 is a little over my budget for a cleaning product.

• 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?

It would be great if it could be used as a quick dusting product in the lounge for example.

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

The style of the bottle, it didnt look like a cleaner & the 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 definitely recommend.

Mine not here yet either

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

Really easy to use, especially as you can just put toilet paper over the top of it.

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

I don't have the cleanest of houses so I would have preferred something with a bit more clout. All a bit gentle, gentle, for my needs.

• 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 more regularly; but that's mostly because I am testing it! It's quite an attractive bottle so I have kept it out on the bathroom windowsill and that has prompted me to clean more often than usual.

• 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 don't know that I have a great need for the bathroom product, and so may not pay this much. I think the kitchen one would be more useful.

• 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?

It reminds you to clean; it makes quick work of it

• 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 never have conversations about cleaning!

Mine also still not here...

Mine hasn't arrived yet either...

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

Easy, but I did have the same squirting fountain problem that some others had until I learnt what I was doing.

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

Hard to tell about effectiveness killing germs as the instructions say the area must be thoroughly wet for 5 minutes . I don't think many cleaning products need to soak the area for that long do they?

• 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, as it's 'there' on the loo shelf. The other bottles are in the cupboard. But I don't know if I'd want it out all the time on view.

• 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?

No, unfortunately too expensive for me. I normally buy a supermarket own brand disinfectant spray to wipe loo seats etc. This is 3 times more expensive to do the same job.

• 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, actually I prefer one product for all areas instead of lots of different products for each room. Not enough space for so many bottles!

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

I like that it's a neat and handy, ready to use bottle for mopping up boy dribbles in the loo. A nice clean 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, because I feel it's a bit of a gimicky and expensive way of doing normal cleaning jobs that other products do perfectly well already. Sorry!

When I saw the bottle I was impressed with the design. It wasn't like anything I had seen before. A nice chunky bottle with a wide top that dispenses a measured amount of cleaner into a dip in the top against which you hold a cloth or kitchen/toilet paper. I found it an easy way of wiping over a small area, and I liked the way is was designed to use with toilet paper, which makes it so convenient. It seemed to work well, but it's not a product that I would turn to clean the whole bathroom. As the name suggests it does seem more suited to a bit of a quick wipe around rather than a full bathroom clean. so little and often is the name of the game here.

For £2.99 I probably wouldn't buy Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner regularly, as I would usually not bother wiping over too much between proper cleans, however I would be more likely to buy the kitchen cleaner, as there always seems to be little spills which need wiping up there.

If it came up in conversation I'd certainly mention Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner. The convenience of it, along with being able to use it with toilet paper would be its major plus points.

DorisShutt hope so I reported when people were saying tge draw had taken place and didn't hear anything

Me too, I thought it was just me!

Ah sorry, that maybe wasn't very clear. i mean that I have not received the cleaner either. I did email MNHQ but have had no response. Hoping something gets sorted.

Very excited as I didn't realise I had been chosen until the product arrived on Friday. I had the kitchen one.

How easy or difficult did you find the Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner to use?
It was incredibly easy to use. In fact I am going to get one for my MIL as I think she will find it easier than sprays and she arthritis in her fingers.

How effective did you find Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I found it to be very effective for a quick wipe around. It had a very pleasant smell (not to overpowering, but enough that you knew something had been used) and the kitchen surfaces looked nice an clean. I didn't notice any smears.

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 more than I normally would use a spray. I generally only got a spray out the cupboard when I do a full clean up (generally at the end of the day after dinner) but I found that I did use this for quick wipes throughout the day. Perhaps some of it was the novelty though. I did find my DH used it a lot, again maybe the novelty!

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 will definitely purchase this again. I don't think that is too expensive as it is is quite a different and unique product. Due to the delivery system there seems to be a lot less wastage than puffing a spray around so I think that would help me justify the 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 would like one for my office, I think something that could be used on both the desk and ran over keyboards would be quite handy.

What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?
I liked the packaging - it doesn't scream cleaning product (once out the box) so I'm happy to leave it on the corner of the windowsill in the kitchen. I'm a very clutter free person (and have virtually nothing on my kitchen worktops / windowsill) and would never leave a normal cleaning spray out. I also liked how easy it was to use and 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?
Yes I would and have done so already.

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

Very easy to use, convenient & looks good in the bathroom too.

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

Effective at cleaning, not sure about liking bacteria, the labelling was a bit confusing, something about leaving it on for 10mins but I don't know how you do that when you are applying & wiping 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?

Yes, used at least once a day when previously I may have just used water on tissue.

• 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 this is quite good value & depending on how long this bottle actually lasts I would buy it again, but I'd want it to last at least a month

• 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? Yes, a general-purpose version in this type of bottle would be great
• What did you like most about Mr Muscle Touch-Up Cleaner?

The convenience & the fact that it looks good enough to leave out when not in use (rather than hiding in a cupboard)

• 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, because I think it's an effective product and has an innovative design that actually does make life/cleaning easier!
