Which cleaner for which job?

Use Universal Cleaner for: benchtops, splashbacks, glass and mirrors, bathroom surfaces, floors, walls, toys, and general spills and marks.

For kitchen benchtops with light grease, Universal Cleaner is fine. For kitchen benchtops after a roast night with serious splatter, switch to Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. Both are septic safe, family safe, pet safe, cruelty-free, and made in Australia.
