HG Liquid Sander Concentrated Pre Paint Cleaner, Degreaser by HG Cleaning Products, Degreasing Cleaner Removes Dirt & Grease Pre-Painting, Prepares Paintwork & Untreated Surfaces - 1 Litre (309100106)

Purchased to clean some old kitchen cabinets prior to painting. Worked a treat. Plus I can use as a household cleaner as well.

This is a great solution, cleans way better than sugar soap. However, if you plan to use on oil-based paint I found that after cleaning I did have to give the surface a light sanding to get a good key for subsequent coats.

Easy to use, a little goes a long way so don't be tempted to dilute less than instructed, it works very well, just follow the instructions. I'll definitely be buying again

I rewallpapered (have I just invented a new word?) my living room quite some years back, with some thick lining paper. I gave it one coat of emulsion, but never got round to painting a finish coat. So you could still see all the cut in lines. Over the years the wallpaper became grubby with hand prints etc... So the wall needed a really good clean. So I used a bucket of water and a 3rd of a bottle of this. It brought my walls back to a freshly pained surface with minimal scrubbing. It also dry's quickly leaving a flat matt surface ready for paint.I was already extremely pleased with the outcome.As it used very little of the mixture I kept it in the bucket not throwing it away as I knew I was going to have more cleaning to do after decorating the whole room. I have a hard wearing laminate wood floor, and whilst I covered my furniture with dust sheets, the floor was left uncovered. So after painting the ceilings (oil based undercoat), walls (emulsion), and woodwork (oil based eggshell), there was lots of spots of paint on the floor. This never worried me as I know this wood flooring, with a little elbow grease comes up spotless.With this mix still in the bucket, and a scouring sponge, I proceeded to clean every single bit of paint off the floor with little effort. The HG Intensive Cleaner is a brilliant product with a very long working life. One mix in a bucket will last you your whole job. It is extremely foamy even in cold water. No hot water needed here.This is one of those products that will always be in my toolbox from now on.

This liquid sander partially works but where in places it didn’t I still had to get the sandpaper out so to be fair I can only give it 3*

I bought this to do a proper clean after moving into a new property. Soap and water wasn’t working to clear what looks like years of build up. Mixed this solution at approx 1:30 ratio and it’s come up a treat. I also have textured floor and textured cupboards and this got all the grime out of the grooves with a scouring sponge and very little elbow grease was required! I am also asthmatic and some cleaning products irritate my chest but this doesn’t. It actually has a rather pleasant pine smell to it. Absolutely will be buying again!

Love this for cleaning down paint work. I don’t rely on it fully to replace sanding especially on gloss finishes but it’s great for cleaning and I soak my brushes in it overnight too.

I used this throughout my house on all wood work. It’s a lot easier than actually sanding. I used it neat on a kitchen scourer. Wipe it off with a damp cloth. Leave to dry then apply your undercoat. I wish I’d found this years ago!!
