How effective is Silit Beng for washing dishes?

The product copes well in the fight against limescale and other contaminants. The practice of using Cillit for washing dishes has shown the following results:

• Cope with fat. The active substances of Cillit Bang, in contact with fat, convert it into a soluble form. The disadvantage of the absence of abrasive particles in the composition of the product is easily compensated by using a double-sided sponge or adding baking soda;
• Copes well with fresh carbon deposits, loosening the structure of the latter;
• Absolutely does not work on old carbon deposits. The components penetrate very slowly into the soot structure even with prolonged soaking of the contaminant.

It copes well with fresh carbon deposits, loosening the structure of the latter.
The absence of scratching substances is more of an advantage than a disadvantage. Plus the convenience of the sprayer. However, some users find applying the product to the sponge this way inconvenient.

How it works

The principle of operation of the cleaning agent is based on the penetration of the composition into scale or rust. By dissolving the stain from the inside, the cleaner softens the stain and all you have to do is remove the dirt with a cloth or sponge. The compositions also loosen soot deposits, converting them into soluble form. Cillit Bang Cleaner works better on “fresh” dirt by removing old active ingredients.

Satisfied customers appreciated the product from British manufacturers, sharing their experience in reviews. They highlight the following advantages of the purchase:

• easy to use;

• accessible – inexhaustible, available in almost any hardware store or supermarket;

Flaws

Despite the many great advertisements and positive reviews on the forums, the disadvantages of Silit Beng should not be forgotten:

• has an aggressive effect on the skin and mucous membranes;
• has a pungent odor;
• not suitable for all surfaces - it is forbidden to clean wood, brass, copper, marble, galvanized metal.

Despite the high price, Cillit Bang is chosen more often than other products.

Many are not satisfied with the price - not everyone is willing to pay from 250 to 370 rubles for a 450 ml container. There are fewer reviews about the ineffectiveness of the drug against rust and carbon deposits, but these are isolated cases. Many other users note an additional effect to the main one (removing dirt) - giving working and hydraulic surfaces a mirror shine.

Cillit Bang products are distinguished by their powerful cleaning components. Despite this, they cannot cope with some types of stains. Damaged surfaces, flaking of the skin of the hands, irritation of the mucous membranes are more likely to be caused by non-compliance with the recommendations and instructions indicated on the packaging.

Specifics of use

“Silit” is a cleaning agent that is used depending on the type of contamination. If you are concerned about fatty foods, choose a product with a fat-soluble formula; you will need a different cleaner to remove the rust. A universal cleaner is not always able to remove stains of various origins, and it is better to buy specific products for each specific case (especially if we are talking about old stains).

Each product in the Cillit Bang series comes with an instruction manual. The instructions consist of several simple steps:

• Before applying the composition, wet the surface by wiping it with a damp cloth or sponge.
• Spray the cleaner by turning the cap to the "on" position (the manufacturer recommends that you try spraying on a less visible surface first).
• In addition to spraying, you can dilute the cleaner with a small amount of water so that the dirt is “absorbed” into the solution.
• Let the detergent sit for half an hour.
• Contact with enameled objects should not exceed 1 minute.
• The kitchen or bath cleaner works within 2-5 minutes. After this time, remove some of the product with a napkin.
• If the dirt comes off easily, clean the rest of the surface.
• Wash dishes as usual.
• Rinse the treated area with water.
• If traces of plaque or stains remain, repeat the procedure.

Attention. A special feature of Silit Beng detergents is their antibacterial effect. These compounds not only quickly and effectively remove rust, grease, limescale and other contaminants, but also remove up to 99% of bacteria and fungi (Candida, E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus).
