Promising review: "Like many, I moved into a house with a used oven. Over the years, keeping grease and cooking messes under control has been tough. I found this product online and was drawn to its non-chemical ingredients. Based on reviews, I gave it a try. It’s pricey, but it’s the only thing that removed almost all the residue from my oven. It smells nice and didn’t scratch or mark the surfaces. I recommend rinsing thoroughly and drying with a microfiber cloth for the best results." —Irish Eyes

My Shopping team colleague Danielle Healy (who took the photos above!) shared her experience:
"I recently moved into a new apartment, so cleaning has been a constant task. While storing something on top of the kitchen cabinets, we discovered they were covered in a thick layer of grime 🤢. After struggling with a regular multipurpose cleaner, we tried the scour paste as a last resort, and WOW — it worked wonders (see pics above). If it can handle that level of dirt, everyday messes like soap scum and burnt-on food are no match. Plus, it smells amazing and comes in eco-friendly packaging!"
