For the past few years I have been buying Vim scouring powder on ebay as

Pyrex dishes that have been in the ovebn.

Just now the price is rediculous, being three times the price I last
paid.Â* Ajax is similarly unavailable.

What do others use for cleaning dishes that have been in the oven?

Your post disturbed me, as I also use Vim. Maybe 2 years ago I bought
a pack of 4 from Belgium. I don't use much - mainly for my enamel bath
and steel sink top, and I've one more bottle to use, so I will have
the same problem when that's used up.

I don't use Pyrex dishes, and if I did I doubt I would use Vim. Why
not use expendable metal dishes, which are cheap enough to renew when
they get too bad?


I believe the bulk scouring ingredient in Ajax and Vim is pumice powder.
If you shop around you can get 1kg powder for under £4. Mix with a bit
of washup liquid and away you go.
