Ms.Route79 came back from Brent Cross Shopping Centre yesterday and proudly demonstrated a new type of “miracle cloth” to a rather sceptical moi. The claim was that it could clean all manner of surfaces - greasy, stained, limescaled-up etc. by simply wiping the the dampened-with-water miracle cloth over it. Yeah right .…
Well - we tried it on the stainless steel of the kitchen sink and taps - and it worked! Previously we’d had to use something like Cif or Flash to get it sparkling. We also tried to remove a six-month old squashed-daddy-long-legs stain from the matt-painted, plaster-wall in the kitchen: a little tactical rubbing with the miracle cloth; and it worked! We tried rubbing the miracle cloth over everything we could think: it removed the sticky residue that had built up over the last 12 months on the top of the portable TV in the kitchen - and it also made our oven door reflect like a mirror again - with just water!
We honestly felt JUST LIKE the ordinary people you see in the obscure sattelite TV channel ads endorsing those miracle things like salad cutters, cleaning fluids and steam-cookers.

Posted by: Lisa on July 9, 2003 08:27 AMNot very often that I “plug” things like that - but this particular product became the victim of the parody that was meant to be my blog entry - but the paradoxical thing is that the parody turned out to be less parody, more fact. The product REALLY DOES Work!
As for the name of it - well I thought I’d provided the link - under the picture. It’s called E-Cloth. http://www.e-cloth.uk.com/
Posted by: Jag on July 9, 2003 09:21 AMheh - missed that altogether. Oops.
Excellent - I really need that. Sticky kitchen stuff attracts rabbit hair. Nice.

Posted by: Lisa on July 14, 2003 05:03 PMGreat! Did you order from the website? Or did you go to one of the stockists listed (which incidentally included Harrods! It must work if Harrods sell it.)
One thing I’ve noticed is that really stubborn sticky-surface residue is best cleaned for the first time with the traditional cream-cleaner stuff - and then afterwards you only need to use the E-Cloth with water to wipe it down regularly. I think i spotted this tip in an FAQ - but only after I had used the cloth to clean it, end-result: one seriously grubby E-cloth!
I really like this product!

Posted by: Patricia Young on June 9, 2004 07:59 AMHi Patricia - thanks for your comment - glad you felt the same way about it - we still have ours today - and it still works! It truly is a “miracle” cloth!
