My Shopping team colleague Danielle Healy is a big fan (she snapped the photos above!), and she shares:
"I recently moved into a new apartment, and as a result, I’ve been cleaning like crazy. Not long after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on top of the kitchen cabinets, only to find them covered in a thick layer of grime 🤢. After trying a regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success), we decided to give the scour paste a shot as a last resort, and WOW, did it work wonders (see the photos above). If it can tackle that mess, it’ll handle everyday problems like soap scum and burnt food with ease. Plus, it smells great and has minimal, eco-friendly packaging!"
