Your bottle of Cif Cream is incredibly versatile. With its tough formulation and millions of micro-particles, it can bring the sparkle back to a huge range of objects and surfaces around the house. Here are our top 23 things to clean with Cif – including a few you might not expect.
- Hobs and hotplates: Easily remove splashes and grease stains, and even burnt-on food, from gas and electric cookers
- Limescale: From the coffee machine to the tap joints, limescale pops up all over the house. Banish it with a few drops of Cif Cream on a sponge, followed by several good rinses.
- Door handles: Metal and synthetic door handles come up like new with a little Cif Cream on a damp cloth. Fingerprints and sticky bits? Not anymore.
- Car seat: Babies are very skilled at getting their car seat covers dirty. If yours is synthetic, give it a wipe with some Cif Cream on a damp sponge.
- Garden furniture: If your patio set is PVC, you can clean it easily with some Cif Cream on a sponge. Then let the rain rinse it for you – or use the garden hose.
- Sports equipment: Cif Cream can clean anything from tennis racquets to golf balls. Just rub and rinse.
- Light switches: We touch them all the time, but rarely think about how grubby they must be getting. A wipe over with Cif Cream will get your light switches back to bright switches.
- Kitchen appliances: They get your plates and clothes clean, but how often do you clean them? Give the outside of your dishwasher and washing machine a wipe down with some Cif Cream on a damp cloth.
- Skateboards and roller skates: Anything that’s in contact with the ground will inevitably get dirty. Freshen up your skates and boards with some Cif Cream on a sponge, then rinse well and leave to dry naturally.
- Windscreens: A clear windscreen is vital for driving safely, so keep yours spotless with a monthly application of Cif Cream on a damp sponge. Rinse well and leave to dry before driving.
- Letterboxes: Even the letterbox in your front door can pick up a surprising amount of grime. Restore it to beauty with some Cif Cream on a cloth.
- Bath toys: Toys that get dunked in water and bubbles can pick up a layer of soap scum before long – not ideal when the little ones also like to chew on them! Get them clean again with some Cif Cream on a damp cloth, then rinse really well.
- Table mats: Water marks, spills and dried-on food are easily wiped away with some Cif Cream and a sponge.
- Radiators: Keep your heaters neat by cleaning with Cif Cream every so often. It’ll get off scuff marks, mystery stains and light rust.
- Knives and cutlery: Clean cutlery is important for a healthy family, so deep-clean yours every now and then with some Cif Cream on a clean cloth. Rinse several times and dry with a soft cloth.
- Sinks and washbasins: Limescale, soap scum and toothpaste can build up on your sink – especially in family bathrooms. Get them gleaming by filling with hot water, adding some Cif Cream, then wiping and rinsing an hour later.
- Teapots: Over time, the tannins in tea can turn the inside of your teapot brown. Cif Cream on a damp sponge is all you need to get it looking new again.
- Shower curtain: Fill a bowl with hot water and add a squirt of Cif Cream. Soak your shower curtain in it for an hour and any soap and scum will disappear.
- Fish tank: Temporarily relocate the fish, then fill the tank with clean water. Add a squirt of Cif Cream, leave for five minutes, then empty and wipe the sides. Rinse well a few times and your tank will be crystal clear.
- Vases: Over time, a cloudy layer of scale builds up on flower vases. To get rid of it, fill with water, add some Cif Cream and leave for an hour or two.
- BBQ: When the weather’s good, you don’t want to spend ages cleaning the barbecue before you can use it. So just soak a small brush in Cif Cream, scrub off the grease stains and food bits, then rinse. Once the barbecue’s dry, you can put it away ready for next time.
- Trainers and rubber boots: Been out in the mud? Some Cif Cream on a cotton cloth will have your trainers and wellies looking new again in no time.
- Pet bowls: Dried-on pet food can be tricky to remove – except with Cif Cream. Don’t forget to rinse well afterwards.
