ACE Cleaning & Laundry Products Review + Giveaway!

22/1/2019

As a busy working Mum I can pretty safely say there are two things which my life revolves around (alongside the demands of the 2 kids) - the cleaning and laundry. I only have to blink and there is toothpaste smeared over the bathroom tiles and I think someone is secretly living in the loft and filling up all the washing baskets daily. It is simply never ending.

Enter ACE. Now you will no doubt has some laundry and cleaning products stashed under the sink and you probably think they do a decent job. Read my review below and you'll think again... plus there is a chance to win some ACE goodies for yourself at the end of the post!

ACE have a wide range of products for all laundry and household cleaning needs. We were sent to try out:

ACE for Colours - The original ACE fabric stain remover that makes all fabric colours shine. ACE for Colours has been specially formulated to remove the toughest of stains and yet be gentle on even the most delicate clothes. It is great for everyday use and removes typical “dingy” dirt caused by soil and mud. It also helps to prevent fabric colours bleeding or transferring to other fabrics. ACE for Colours can be used on silk, wool and is even safe to use on cashmere!

ACE Stain Remover Spray - This new offering from ACE is an active oxygen pre-wash treatment spray which allows you to target specific stains before they go in the wash.

ACE for Whites laundry stain remover - Specifically formulated to work better on lighter fabrics, ACE for Whites helps brighten dull whites while still being gentle on delicate clothes.

ACE Power Mousse - Combining the might of bleach with ACE cleaning power, the ACE Power Mousse works hard to keep household surfaces and white laundry bright and clean.

The Results

So what did i think? Overall fantastic. The Power Mousse makes cleaning my old and very ergonomically unfriendly gas hob an absolute breeze. I spray it on and come back 5minutes later and all the burnt on spillages have completely dissolved so all I have to do is give it a wipe. It works better than anything I have used before.

The laundry stain removers are just as impressive and the power of the ACE for Whites completely blew me away. Our white bath towels were really starting to look terribly grubby even straight out of the washing machine (which I put down to my red hair dye). You can see in the before photo just how dull and grubby they look against E's brand new white school shirt. Something had to be done! After just one wash with ACE for Whites the change was astonishing. In the after photo you can see how white and shiny they look next to my new white office furniture!

For more information on the ACE range visit www.acecleanuk.co.uk or to buy head to your local Tesco’s, Morrison’s, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s.

Do a little and often! As a parent I don't have the time to do a big clean once a week, so I find doing a little and often works :)

Mix four tablespoons of baking soda and a litre of warm water to make a cheap and natural all-purpose cleaner. Use liberally on your surfaces, floors and anywhere else that's in need of a scrub.

Use your washing powder as a general cleaner. It really cuts through dirt, grime and grease, very good on shower trays, baths and sinks. Put some down the loo and watch the stains disappear, no need for other high priced cleaners.

To clean your microwave just pop a heat-proof cup of water with half a lemon and its juice in the microwave on a high setting for a minute or two. 1. Leave the mixture in the microwave with the door closed for 5 minutes for the steam to do its work, then easily wipe down the inside of your microwave. The lemon will leave your entire kitchen will smell clean and fresh!

Dove soap is fantastic for getting out stains such as blood,oil,and most other things i've tried.I've told people about it before when they have struggled with a stain and it's removed it for them.Just wet the stain and rub the soap over it.Rinse it off and then i tend to repeat just to double make sure it's all gotten rid of.

Remove muddy items and wash muddy paws at the front door to reduce the mess inside, then write a list for all the chores as it's satisfying crossing them off when they're done.

Diane Carey

Put messy bottles e.g cooking oil in a sandwich bag. When used the runs will go into the bag and not all over your cupboard shelves, which can take ages to get off

Clifford Sherwood

Use window or glass cleaner to make taps and plug holes shiny

Jade Jones

5/2/2019 01:51:55 am

doing a daily basic spot clean avoids a massive long weekend of cleaning and decluttering through the week - delegate tasks to kids from a young age so they learn the importance of living in a clean environment and a basic life skill that most young people seem to lack these days

Sally link

5/2/2019 06:43:25 pm

White vinegar,great for most jobs

Judith Allen

5/2/2019 09:56:32 pm

I am not someone to give cleaning tips, I always was the sort of person to make a room look messy just by walking in and sitting down. I would suggest to do a little regularly rather then let it build up into a huge task.

joanne casey

Use a dishwasher tablet to clean the oven glass, just rub it with the tablet and it cleans perfectly

If you get a real good quality microfibre cloth (not the cheap ones) and use the tiniest amount of water (no soap or anything), this is the best best way to clean your windows!

Kim Styles

Have an outline on what needs to be cleaned daily, break the task down so you feel on top of cleaning, not the other way round!

Beverley Cousins

16/2/2019 11:47:20 am

Definitely listen to music, it really helps get through it, especially with my 3 story house with the kitchen on the bottom floor.
Try and split the cleaning up over 2 days, that way it want take up all day and u want get bored and cut corners lol.

Lucy

16/2/2019 01:05:06 pm

I would probably say do small bits but often so it doesn't make it such a big job

Nikki Easton

16/2/2019 08:07:20 pm

Use a diluted zoflora mix and spray it on the shower curtain after each use. It will keep the mould and stale water smells away.

Emma Howard

16/2/2019 09:24:49 pm

I try and clean little and often to keep on top of it all!

Hannah Igoe

17/2/2019 07:55:04 am

I have two types of cleaning one is a deep clean which I do less often and one which is more of an everyday stay on top clean, and the more I keep on top of it the less I have to do in one go.

Allan Fullarton

Don't stop half way through, or it will never get done.

Jennifer M

17/2/2019 12:27:45 pm

Do a little bit every day so it doesnt become overwhelming. Also having a list and tick off what's to be done in the week helps me too x

Donna W

17/2/2019 08:00:09 pm

Laundry powder is excellent for cleaning oven shelves. Leave them in soak for a couple of hours, give them a quick scrub and they sparkle like new!

Tracy B

17/2/2019 08:37:36 pm

Dilute Zoflora in a spray bottle and use to clean or freshen anywhere in the house. I rate the pets one as I don't have to worry about moggy and I can clean all the floors with it too!

James Travis

Once you have finished with a Toothbrush for cleaning your teeth Keep it for cleaning lots of things around the House and Car etc , like cleaning between the spokes of wheels.

Joy Winn

18/2/2019 03:02:12 pm

Paint the inside of your oven(not self-cleaning!) with bicarbonate of soda & water as a thick paste,this will soak up splashes & fat & soon wipes clean

Rebecca Nisbet

18/2/2019 08:15:27 pm

Get a cleaner! if you cant do that then make sure you keep on top of it!

Debbie Preston

18/2/2019 10:45:44 pm

Put newspaper or kitchen roll on top of kitchen cupboards so you only have to roll it up with all the dust and grease when you spring clean

Louise Heaton

I have an Alaskan Malamute who moults once a year, (that's ALL year 'round!), so when it comes to cleaning the 'fur'~niture as he loves to lie on the sofas as well as his Muttress, I love to use the sole of my Fit~Flop to remove all his hair. I find the rubber sole is brilliant and far superior than any vac's tool!
