Mum's secret to sparkling oven doors sends the internet into meltdown

* A MOTHER TESTED POPULAR HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS ON HER GREASY GLASS OVEN DOOR * SHE TRIED ALDI 'SCRUBTION' AND DI-SAN SPRAY, FINISH RINSE AID AND KOH ECO GEL * AFTER SCRUBBING THE

PRODUCTS ON DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DOOR, SHE ALSO TRIED WATER  * TO HER SURPRISE, ALL CLEANERS - INCLUDING PLAIN WATER - PRODUCED IDENTICAL RESULTS By ALICE MURPHY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

Published: 23:32 EDT, 11 November 2020 | Updated: 23:35 EDT, 11 November 2020 A wet sponge lifts tough stains from glass just as effectively as leading cleaning products that cost up to

$29.95, a mother has revealed. A photo posted in an Australian Facebook group shows four chemical cleaners - Aldi's $3.49 Scrubtion, Aldi's $1.25 Di-San Spray, $8 Finish Rinse Aid

and Koh's $29.95 Universal Solution -  lined up on a greasy oven door. In the caption of the photo, the mum said she tested each product on a different patch of glass - which she

hadn't cleaned in a year - before scrubbing another part with a Koh 'Diamond' sponge, dampened with water. To her surprise, every cleaner produced almost identical results

when scrubbed with the sponge - even water and good old fashioned elbow grease. Scroll down for video 'Moral of the story, get Koh Diamond sponge. I think it's the secret

ingredient to get the same results. So there ya go,' the mother wrote in the caption. Her photo, which has been liked hundreds of times since it was uploaded on Wednesday, has drawn

dozens of delighted responses from householders who say they will buy a $9.95 four-pack of the sponges and bin their usual cleaning sprays. Koh Diamond sponges are sold at Bunnings and

online on the brand's website. 'Good old friction, just goes to show we don't need all these chemicals as much as we think,' one woman said. 'Yep I say this to

everyone - it's all in the sponge,' another added. Another advised scrubbing the door when the oven is still warm to make cleaning easier. Others cited a test conducted by consumer

advocacy group CHOICE, which found plain hot water removed the same or more stains from floors as leading cleaning brands. But some said the sponges, which are designed to remove rust,

mould and baked fats on oven walls, leave scratches on the glass. 'I used the sponge once and it scratched mine so haven't used it again,' one woman said. Another called it a

'glorified sanding block' and said 'you may as well buy fine grit sandpaper from Bunnings because it's the same thing'. A product overview on Koh's website

describes the sponge as a 'relatively low abrasive', but warns against using it on 'high gloss surfaces' - like glass. The brand recommends testing the sponge on a small

patch before starting to clean to avoid lifting paint or scratching surfaces.
