Dettol Power and Pure Kitchen Spray Product Test - Feedback thread

Overall I thought that the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray was effective. If I had to pick one thing I didn't like, I found the nozzle a bit difficult to position so that it sprayed properly. The OFF and ON marks on the nozzle are quite difficult to read - a coloured dot for ON might be better - and it seems to need to be aligned quite specifically in order to function correctly.

I felt that the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean and compared favourably with other similar products I have used.

I liked the smell of the spray and would not say it smelled 'bleachy' at all (and I have a very acute sense of smell). I did not notice any chemical residue left behind but then can't say I have noticed one with other similar sprays. I did find the smell more pleasant than most.

I used the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in the bathroom as well as the kitchen as it would appear to be multi-purpose. I would probably use it on surfaces such as windowsills (melamine type rather than wood) but did not on any occasion when I used it for testing purposes.

I would probably use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again because, as I said, I liked the smell and it seemed effective. The main reason I might not use it again would be cost - e.g. if a supermarket offered its own brand for a lower price.

I think it is unlikely that a kitchen spray would come up in conversation with a friend but, if it did, I'd probably mention that I had tried and liked Dettol Power and Pure while not necessarily recommending it. I should perhaps point out that I have a cleaning lady and I suggested to her that she use it when she 'did' my kitchen - not sure if that counts as conversation/recommendation!

Happy to test other products for you - quite enjoyed doing this - and thank you for affording me this opportunity.

I have found the Dettol spray excellent, the perfume is subtle,there is no residue left after wiping, I have used it on my grandaughters highchair,worktops,sink and even the top of my Aga which is hot all of the time.Having 4 cats it has been handy to be able to use it before food preparation as I can't always tell where the little darlings may have been walking in my absence,I will be buying this from now on and will definately recommend it to my friends and family,thank you for giving me the chance to try it.

I like the appearance of the spray container - it looks powerful and attractive. The opener is a little stiff but no more than other products with this type of on/off opener.

It is satisfactory as a cleaner but not massively different from my favourite Dettox spray and I would not choose it over Dettox.

I hate the smell! I find it synthetic and unpleasant. It leaves a dull finish too I think especially on my formica worktops.

I used it on my fridge door and other white goods and it was satisfactory but no more than that.

I shall stick with my Dettox and not buy this.

No I would not recommend Dettol Power and Pure. Sorry!

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?

Impressed. Liked the smell of the product and the fact that it kills 99% of bacteria. Didn't like the nozzle much, tended to squirt too much out

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?

Yes, it gives a powerful clean. Used it on baby's highchair, worktops and black enamel hob, as well as glass table top. Compared to others? Certainly as good if not better. To be honest they are all pretty much the same, aren't they?

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?

^ As said before, not an unpleasant smell like some. I do like a bleachy smell though. It reminds me of my dad bleaching the old wooden draining board when I was a little girl.

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?

I used it in the bathroom with good results.

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?

^ A lot would depend on the cost but have bought the bathroom version from Costco as it was a really good bargain.^

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?

I have already told my friend about it. We were discussing how environmentally friendly it is (or isn't)

Unfortunately I found the smell overpoweringly sickly and sweet too such an extent that I felt physically sick and couldn't continue to use the product. My husband has said he will give it a try outside the house on UPVC window surrounds and feed back later.

My overall impression :- Packaging looks good, it smells "clean", it does the job.

Cleaning :- It cleans very well, was very pleased with the results. much better than some cleaners, on a par with others.

Smell:- Left a "clean" smell that didn't overpower, or last too long.

Residue:- No noticeable residue

Use:- I used it in both the kitchen and bathroom and got good results in both areas.

Recommend:- Yes, I would, if I was asked.

1. I liked the look of the product....it promised much on the packaging. I'm afraid that the look of the bottle was the most impressive thing about the product. After that it was all downhill. I carefully read the instructions, paying particular attention to what it shouldn't be used on....I've run into problems once before! (Different manufacturer) Unfortunately, I have a marble board and quite a few unsealed wooden surfaces so I was unable to use it on them.

2. It gave a fair clean...no better than the product I already use. I tried it out on various kitchen surfaces and even the very dirty oven floor.

3. I hated the smell....too overpowering (I had a migraine shortly after using it). My OH wanted to know if I'd spilt some toilet cleaner in the kitchen...and the smell lingered. It definitely didn't smell bleachy but that was not a plus in my view. I did notice a residue left behind on my work surface which I rinsed off....but isn't one of the selling points that it doesn't leave behind any harsh residue?

4. Because of the overpowering smell I didn't use it anywhere but in the kitchen.

5. No....won't be using it again (unless you do something about the smell)

6. No I won't be recommending it and I'll carry on using my Dettox and E Cloths.

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?

to be honest it looks just like any other product available.bottle is easy to hold and use and is a good size

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?

I was not over impressed with the cleaning power. It was fine on wipe down surfaces but didn't seem to be able to clean harder items like doing the sink.

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?

Smell was good and definately less bleachy. Can't say I noticed any residue left

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?

no I only used it in the kitchen.

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?

I cannot tell if the surfaces were cleaner or not when you get down to germ level but it didn't seem to be much different to most other similar products. I am always carefull about surfaces and use germ protection products anyway. I would happily use it again if the price was right

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would be quite happy to recommend it with reservations.It is easy to use and good for general wiping down of surfaces etc to keep germ free. I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty cleaning though

Overall not that different to similar sprays. Some difficulty with turning top on and off. Would have preferred a more "sticky" foam - when used on vertical surfaces like kitchen tiles it ran down as quickly as a liquid, rather than staying on the surface long enough to work.
Cleaned well, but not noticeably better than other similar sprays such as Mr. Muscle.
Disliked the smell a lot. Not a "bleachy" smell but rather "plasticky" and chemical-smelling.
No noticeable residue.
Used it around the dog bed and food bowl area (ceramic tiled floor and painted skirting) where it adequately removed food splashes on the floor - can't say the dog was impressed with the smell though!
I would use up the bottle I have but don't think I will buy again, mainly because of the unpleasant smell, and so would not recommend to others.

My overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray was that it was no better nor worse than other, similar sprays. It didn't work well on my cooker.

The cleaning power was good, but not especially so. I have another cleaning product which I will continue to use in preference as I think it does a better job.

Doesn't smell 'bleachy' but the smell was like an air freshener or fabric softener, so would be better used in the bathroom than the kitchen. No noticeable residue on work surfaces, but left the (black) cooker top looking dull.

I wouldn't choose it over my regular brand unless it was vastly cheaper.

I really, really, really didn't like the floral smell. Yuk!

Nice big container, good. OFF / ON switch hard to see : bad.
Picture on front not over-exciting : neutral.
Amazed at what it did for my kitchen wall tiles : very impressed. Am now heading to do the same for the bathroom.
Smell a bit odd, though NOT bleachy : not offputting / not attractive.
No sign of chemical residue : a huge plus over past products I've used.
I WOULD use Pure again, and WOULD tell a friend about it , as she is a cleaning freak.

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?
It did not seem very different to me

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?
I did not like the smell it reminded me of Cillet Bang. I prefer a clean smell
Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?
Tried on an outdoor area of white plastic .

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?
What would make me use it would be the germ killing properties

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?
I did not find it very different to other products

Overall I thought a good product gentle and not as strong as Mr Muscle or similar harsher products.
Maybe too much on the "chunky side as I like to put my cleaning stuffs in a little carrier with handle so I can carry from room to room and this product too stout to fit in my box.
However I think it works well in bathroom -as gentle spray worked well on taps.
Nice looking spray but too me not outstanding.
I still have my bottle of Dettol which takes a lot of beating especially for soaking in toilet bowls - of course know its not a kitchen spray but to me its the best.
This product good but didnt have "wow" factor sorry!!

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?
It was a perfectly adequate kitchen cleaner. Its container was not garish. However the smell was so strong that it made me sneeze(not usual with me)

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?
It gave a splended clean; parts of the sink in my new house have always been stained. This lessened the stains. It worked better on the sink than my usual cleaner. On surfaces it took more effort to rub off

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?
I did not think bleach was the smell. It left a residue on surfaces

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?
Because of smell I won't be using it elsewhere

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?
I will use it up only on my sink, because of its power

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?
Can't remember ever recomending a cleaning product to a friend

Cleaned my kitchen worktops really well, and also the bits round the bath that I usually use a Lakeland product for [you know the bits that can get a bit mildewy] but I tried to clean the bath with it and it didn't do much [but then it probably isn't meant to; I'll stick to Jiff for that]. I'm not sure about the smell. At first I thought it was very sickly and overpowering, but I've kind of got used to it. I'll probably ask a few other people what they think of the smell. It's a bit marmite.

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?

Looks fresh, the bottle was too big and clumsy for my small hands.

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?

As good as most kitchen sprays and better than some.

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?

Did not like the smell, I did not think it smelled bleachy. I quite like the smell of oxygen bleach. No white residue left but the smell did linger.

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?

No.

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?

I will certainly use the rest of the bottle. It will depend what is on special offer when I am ready to replace it.

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?

My friends and I do not discuss cleaning products, our conversations are much more interesting!

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?

I felt that it was a very effective product. Cut through grease easily. Nothing I didn't like

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?
Very effective clean- cut easily through grease and dirt. Better than the majority of sprays on the market

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?
There was a pleasant , clean smell. Not as bleachy as other similar products. No residue left behind

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where? I used it on the bath- was very good at cleaning it

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not? I would definitely use it again

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would definitely recommend it to a friend. It's a really effective, fresh smelling product. Easy to use

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?
I liked the smell most. also intriguied by the idea of it breaking down to o2 and water, not needing to rinse it.
The nozzle was a bit stiff but I guess that means it is secure

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?
Yes! used it on some really tough stains on the kitchen hob, was expecting to have to scrub but they came clean away witha wipe

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?
I thought the smell was really good - not chemically or bleachy, not overpowering. I likened it to an air freshner smell, will actually save me buying air freshner and makes me more motivated to give surfaces a quick clean as I walk by! I was surprised the smell wasn't used as a selling point on the packaging

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?
Kitchen surfaces and bowl where I might be worried about chemical residue coming into contact with food service items

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?
Definitely; nice smell, strong cleaning power, interesting idea about it breaking down to oxygen and water (will take me some time to believe that it doesn't need rinsing away after though!!)

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?
not the kind of conversation I would normally have (!) but I would recommend it if asked

My overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure spray was that it appears to be effective.
It does give a powerful clean and I think it compares favourably with other products I have used.
I thought the smell was ok and not too overpowering. It cleaned well but I found it took quite a lot to wipe it away (perhaps I used too much)
I didn't use the cleaner in any areas that I don't usually use a a powerful cleaning product.
I think I would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again but it would depend on how much it costs as this is a big factor in my decision when purchasing any products.
I would recommend this product to a friend as it cleans well and is easy to use. The only thing I would say is that it is hard to see the ON - OFF indicators and I feel it would be a good idea to make these more visible.

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?
My overall impression would be to use again if in the right price bracket. Didn’t like the smell!

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?
I found Dettol Power to be effective and compared favourably with my usual cleaner. Apart from on the bath after two dirty Grandchildren had been bathed and I would say that it was easier to use in that application than my usual bath cleaner.

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?
Personally I did not like the smell it was off putting when using it, reminiscent with a trip tothe Dentist.
I did find it very wet and took extra wiping to clear the surface.

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?
Only used where I would use a spray cleaner.

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?
I would definitely use Dettol Power again in my bathroom apart from the smell. ^
I would recommend Dettol Power to a friend if cleaning products ever came up in the conversation.

Hi
Thanks for giving me the chance to trial the new Dettol Power and Pure.
I would be likely to use it again.
I liked the smell. better than the strong bleach smell I have using some cleaning sprays
I did find it cleaned satisfactorily but tended to leave a film on stainless steel sink.
I used it to clean melamine trays. It worked well.
It also cleaned splashback tiles and the shower easily.
It compared well with the usual supermarket brands that I normally use.
I have given what remained to my daughter to use in her family home.
I have not had her feedback yet

What was your overall impression of the Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray? What did you like the most about it? Was there anything you didn’t like?
I liked the product and its appearance and would use it again if it was not too expensive. I found the weight of the bottle made it heavy to hold - but currently I am recovering from a shoulder op. My current kitchen spray is of a slightly smaller overall size.

Did you feel Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray gave a powerful clean or not? How did it compare to other cleaning products you use?
It did give a powerful clean and did not require much elbow grease! It was probably a bit better than my currently product.

What did you think of the smell? Do you think it smells less 'bleachy' than other cleaning products you use or not? Did you notice any difference in terms of there being any chemical residue being left behind compared to others?
I liked the smell - I thought it smelt a bit 'medical'? perhaps like germolene? I didnt notice any residue left behind.

Did you use Dettol Power and Pure kitchen spray in any areas of your home that you would not usually use a powerful cleaning product? If so, where?
I used it to clean my kettle and the fridge/freezer doors with good effect.

Do you think you would use Dettol Power and Pure cleaning products again? If so why? If not, why not?
Yes if attractively priced.

If it came up in conversation, do you think you would recommend Dettol Power and Pure to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not?
If it came up in conversation I would recommend it.

Overall very good , liked the smell of the kitchen afterwards, there was nothing I didn't like

Very good just as good as my mr muscle

Yes I would reccomend, my daughter in law already noticed the different clean fresh smell when she came in
