You can find the great value spray for just £1.20 at Tesco and for £1.25 at The Range.
The universal degreasing spray is solvent-free, vegan and removes stains from fabrics, metals and plastics.
It’s been touted as ‘the only cleaner you’ll ever need’ and can even be used outdoors and on vehicles.
It is designed to reduce fat and oil in all situations and is ideal for removing tough stains from fabrics and porous materials.
It is strong enough to remove oil from a car engine, yet gentle enough to safely remove grease stains from delicate and colored fabrics.
When using Elbow Grease on fabric, spray the solution directly onto the stain. Then wash the fabric as usual and watch the stains disappear.
