Is there anything on the market that really gets through grease and

including Cif.

Ha! Have just got back from the weekly shop armed with a "Cream
Cleanser" - the same as Jif. The reason was the same as yours: a
cupboard full of "useless cleaning materials". Or, rather, I should
say, too-specific cleaning materials. Take "Cillit Bang", for
example. The lying toads say in that amazing commercial on TV that it
possesses the most incredible power to clean anything anywhere. I
have found it only good for removing limescale. When it comes to
cleaning the top of the oven hob it will remove the deposit left
where water has boiled over & evaporated, leaving a limescale deposit
- our water here is quite alkaline. But it won't remove the grease
and fat! A cream cleanser, like Jif or some other brand, PLUS a bit
of elbow grease, will easily remove the whole bloody lot!

You do know that there are two types of Cillit Bang? Grime & lime which is
acid based and Power Cleaner Degreaser which is Alkali - and very good IMO.
