This Australian Household Cleaner Is About To Be Your New Best Friend
I first encountered this Australian householdĀ cleaningĀ staple a few years ago when I first started dating my (Aussie) partner, Veronica, who would whip it out from under her sink to tackle everything from dirty, stained dishes to scrubbing the bathtub. There is really nothing this amazing product canāt clean, and luckily for those of us who live stateside, itās available onĀ AmazonĀ Prime for under $20.
This cleaning wunderkind couldnāt be easier to use. It comes as a concentrated powder that you apply to a damp cloth or sponge to quickly and efficiently wipe away stains and filth. Itās formulated with natural abrasive particles that somehow are able to clean even the most intense of messes without causing scratches or damage.
Like most Australians, Veronica swears by it for about everything but is particularly enthusiastic about Gumptionās dish-cleaning prowess. She says, āIt works like magic. There is nothing it cannot remove. It makes stainless steel shiny and removes all food that might be very tough to clean and stuck. It essentially exfoliates everything away ā your pots and pans will be sparkling clean.ā She does not, however, recommend using it on items with non-stick coating, as it is slightly abrasive.
Gumption has a super-fresh, lemony fragrance that is extremely pleasant without being overpowering, harsh, or chemical-like. Try it out on everything from floors and bathroom tiles to kitchen sinks, stovetops, and even clothing. If youāre working with ultra-tough stains, leave it on for a few minutes before wiping or rinsing it away.
This international cleaning product has flown under the radar in the U.S., but itās long overdue for its moment in the sun. Those who have tried it have instantly fallen under its spell, myself included, and I have a good feeling itāll make a convert out of you posthaste if you give it a chance. Your house will be gleaming before you know it.
