Method All Purpose Spray Eco Product Review

After testing Method’s Stainless Steel Cleaner, Flushable Wipes and Soy Candle, Big Green Smile sent us some All Purpose Spray to review. Firstly I’ll get out the way how much I like the bottle shape and tounge-in-cheek writing on the bottle - all products should be like this - but it’s more important to find out if it works well.

I didn’t get the same colour as pictured on the website, I think Method must just update them as mine was pink as pictured below, although I’m sure it doesn’t make a blind bit of difference to how it works.

I gave it a stern test - my cooker top which hadn’t been cleaned for a couple of weeks. And I just used a cloth so I would have to work at stubborn stains. But I didn’t have to really. I turned the nozzle to ‘on’ and off I went, a few sprays and a quick wipe and I was done. Well almost. There were a few places which needed a further wipe but what I discovered was that if you sprayed a drop of the Method cleaner on the area, left it for about 30 seconds, it then wiped off easily.

The smell wasn’t quite as nice as other Method products and it did seem a bit ‘chemically’ but I wasn’t worried about breathing it in or touching it with my hands like I am with other cleaners. It’s made with naturally-derived surfactants and is biodegradable.

Method All Purpose Spray costs £3.00 and is available from Big Green Smile.

Method Stainless Steel Cleaner Eco Product Review

I’ve seen Method products on the shelf at my local Waitrose supermarket but Big Green Smile are the only place online that officially sells it and they kindly sent me a whole host of Method products to review.

I first got busy with what is actually called ‘method stainless steel, streak-free, clean + polish’. Lovely stuff. I was actually going to give this to a friend to test as there’s only so much cleaning I can cope with, but I took a look at the state of our sink and draining board at home and thought I’d better give it a quick go. I’m not giving it up.

The thing is, I love the look of the draining board and sink now, I’ve become obsessed with how clean it is, it’s lovely. But back to the beginning. Well there’s not much to say really but my sink was dirty so I gave it a clean. The directions suggested a soft cloth but as it was so dirty and scratched anyway I went with a rough cloth and boy, did it need it. I think I should have gone with a normal cleaner first as this isn’t something that gets ground on dirt off easily, it took quite a bit of scrubbing but it let a hell of a shine. I went with the soft cloth after and it’s brilliant and has given a whole new dimension to my washing up!

I’m not joking I love it. I also didn’t use rubber gloves, I wasn’t bothered about getting it on my skin and I was fine, there’s no great smell to speak of so felt very comfortable spraying the fine mist onto the sink. I hope the rest of the Method range lives up to these results.

Another thing I love is the packaging. Well, not the plastic, it is recyclable but there’s no getting away from plastic where chemicals are concerned, but the design of the bottle is great and the directions and writing is fun and helpful. All design and packaging should be like this, it almost makes cleaning fun.

Method stainless steel cleaner costs £4.00 from Big Green Smile. Here’s a bit of blurb about Big Green Smile as we haven’t featured them on Life Goggles before:
