SWARFEGA ORIGINAL CLASSIC

The classic, removes oil, grease, grime, enamel paint and more without scouring. I prefer this to the orange type and have used it ever since I started servicing and fixing my first car 50 years ago. Possibly a little large for home use but good value.

Swarfega is a bit of nostalgia for me! My dad used it when we were kids for cleaning our oil covered hands if we'd been messing with our bikes, and he always had it about for cleaning his own hands after dad-jobs. It also got stains out of clothing and marks of other items. When it arrived it was just as I remembered: a smell I always loved, and the beautiful green gel that somehow does this weird little 'vibration' in the pot! And it cleaned as it always did. However ... I bought it again to see if it could tackle a specific job; and it does! I have an Apple watch in yellow and my previous light coloured strap suffered from picking up stains - in particularly biro ink - and no matter what I tried (even having trawled the internet) nothing seemed to be able to clean it properly. So, I'd wondered about Swarfega ... and it cleans it beautifully, getting off all the grime (including ink, although sometimes you have to leave it on for a while). If you want to try it, firstly set your watch to exclude water (you're not going to wet the watch, but it just protects it). Then, take an old toothbrush and gently apply Swarfega to the strap with the brush; don't get it on the watch. If you've got a bad stain on the strap just leave it for a while with the Swarfega on it. Then, carefully rinse both parts of the strap (don't wet the watch) and wipe with a tissue/cloth ... your grime should be removed! Then, press the crown of the watch to run the expel water function and you're done. So, apart from the usual 'hand-cleaning' that Swarfega has always done brilliantly, it should hopefully help clean your watch strap! (**Do accept your own responsibility if you choose to try this: try a test spot in an area not visible first and accept this is like an internet recommendation - you do it at your own risk. Because it worked for me it may not for you).

Good sized container.Should last a while.Took a lot to get paint off material.But will be good for other stains.

Better than soap at removing layers of dry acrylic paint and leaves my hands soft. This one is unscented and Doesn’t have the exfoliating grains I remembered when I had it last,maybe a different version and also the whole exfoliating thing got an environmental thumbs down a few years back. It’s good stuff though and I’ll get it again

It does exactly what it says on the tub. Great for removing oil and grease from your hands. Used sparingly it is very cost effective

Great to get grease off hands and kitchen! Smell could be better though

Very good item still in use.

Cleans well but has this unpleasant smell.
