@house_cat It was similar to V34940 but in a hand held version, which I cannot find, so they may be sold out, I have both of these, and constantly use them!  They have both made my life so much easier!

Bar Keepers has one out now to clean/polish cookware.  I use it for everything 'cause the regular Bar Keepers got sent to someone in OK - I live in MA!  Guess UPS got lost!

Thank you, @CareBears.  I've seen those at BBB and was tempted to try it.  Thankfully, I'm still pretty powerful on my own and don't think I need it yet.  I might feel differently after attacking my tub with the Bio Cleaner today.

I love this stuff and don't know what I would do without it.

I think people expect miracles and to use no elbow grease.

First, if you  have stainless sinks, it shines and protects them (water beads up afterward) like no other powdered cleanser I've ever used. That alone would make it worth the price of admission for me. I don't like dingy and stained sinks, makes the food prep area look unsanitary, even when it isn't. 

I've used it on our fiberglass tub/shower units. We have hard water with a lot of iron and this scrubs up the tubs and gets a lot of that build up off. 

I use it on my stainless steel cookware. It cleans and shines and polishes my vintage Farberware and Reverware so it looks new. I don't find it all that effective on the copper bottoms, I use Penny Bright and it works with very little effort on the copper bottoms. But @house_cat is right, if you have old and stained up cookware, it is going to take a lot of elbow grease and time to clean it up. I have done it, with pieces I've picked up at thrift stores, and I've gotten 98% of the gunk off of the stainless, but it does take a lot of work. Nothing else I ever tried really worked for that aged on stuff.

I buy vintage Pyrex both the plain glass and the colored and printed pieces like in picture at the top It gets all the utensil marks out of the inside, the baked on gunk from the outside and it never damages the paint or decoration on the piece. 

It cleans up those same utensil marks and baked on gunk on Corningware and Pfaltzgraff, and even Corelle to some extent.

I've used it on glass that has build up and water spots and if it wasn't baked on by years of dishwasher damage, it will clean up glass very well. 

I've used it on lawn furniture outdoors.

Every time they get those oversized containers in I pick up a set and get nervous if I get below three containers in reserve. 

I think one of the cleaning companies, either Aslett or Campinelli had something similar that I tried, and I didn't results anywhere near what I get with the Bio Cleaner.

I guess I should have added my oven in the list of things I use it on, and the stove top of my gas range when something overflows and burns on.

And it works best with the Campenelli sponges with the diamond fiber 'scratchy' side for many applications. 

Oh, and edited to add the grill too.

lmost all of them are useless!

Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed response. I'm hoping I rushed to judgement and will like it better when I try it on my tub, tiles and stainless sink.  So far, I tried it on the bottoms of my Le Creuset pots - I keep the rest of the pot immaculate, but have never been able to control the stains on the bottoms.  It didn't help much.  I tried it on the inside glass of my 10 year old oven, with pretty much the same results... not good.  I tried it on my white porcelain sink in my downstairs powder room.  For some reason, that sink stains easily, even though it's only used for hand washing.  I guess it's because we have hard water.  The Bio Cleaner didn't work any better than Comet, Ajax or baking soda.

I do have vintage Pyrex myself, but it's in very good condition. I'll keep it in mind for the future, as I do enjoy picking up vintage pieces when I see them.

First let me apologize because I'm about to do something that is one of my many pet peeves, 'disagreeing as 'this does work for me'.  

In this case this product did work for me.  I just ordered some more because I know I have it, but I can't find it (story of my life).

I have a Jenn-aire electric stove top.  I hate it but it does need to be cleaned periodically.  Luckily I wanted to get a white one to match my kitchen and (thank goodness) the sales person said, "NOOOO!!!  WAIT!" "You'll have all of these tiny lines that you won't be able to get clean".

I use this product and it works well, great?  No good, yes!

That said, a cheaper way would be to buy yourself a lot of baking soda and use that FIRST because it is a good cleaner.  I use it on my microwave, etc.  It wouldn't surprise me if that's mostly what's in this product.  It's just (in my opinion) not as messy as using baking soda.  Baking soda comes apart (breaks up) and gets everywhere, but it does work well.

"I think people expect miracles and to use no elbow grease."

I think that is the problem.  The presentations are always done by men.  Elbow grease not an issue. Matter of fact elbow grease is NEVER mentioned in thse presentations and it should be!

Never seen a female vender doing these presentations either.   Just once I want to see a female put on her playtex gloves & get down putting all her strength in removing old burnt stain crusts from pots & pans.
