GH GOOD DEAL

Good points: Good results after four hours - only one small burnt-on patch on the oven base required extra scrubbing. Bag is a convenient way to clean large shelves and racks, but a bit of elbow grease was required to remove burnt-on soils.

Drawbacks: Messy to wipe away the residual gel. Addition of a brush or sponge would be useful.
