Very versatile product – Very good at cleaning all hard surfaces, especially in both kitchen and bathroom. I recently discovered if you sprinkle around skirting boards in kitchen, it will stop and kill cockroaches, making it a cheap alternative product for pest control. Show details

Miracles can happen! – Thanks to Covid-19 I’ve had time to catch up with chores. I’ve loved using Ajax to freshen up my old cookware. I’m embarrassed but happy now. I feel like I’ve bought new cookware. Thank you Ajax!

Disappointed – I agree with other reviews posted. What is Ajax doing? It doesn't have the nice smell to it anymore and it is horrible. I have my old Ajax which is lovely (finished today) made in Australia and opened new one which is horrible and made in Mexico? Packaging is same 500g but new packaging is larger. Until problem rectified I will go back to just using Jif. Used to like using both. Such a pity Show details

New "Gritty" Formula is really bad! – What happened to the Ajax Powder I've been using for over 40 years? It now leaves a gritty substance over everything that you clean including the cleaning cloth. It then takes twice as long as it took to clean to try and get the grit out of the cloth and whatever it was that you were cleaning. I have had to change to using Jiff. Very disappointed! Why did they change it, was it a cost saving measure?

Destroyed my tub – AJAX powder ruined my tub. It left sprinkle stains all over it. I've tried everything to bring them out. My tub looks horrible. I have to replace it. I called AJAX asking for suggestions to remove the stains and they it was my fault for leaving the cleaner on too long.

What have they DONE!! – This grey muck is NOT the ajax i love and know. I will be changing. Even the top came off the container. It sits in the bottom of the loo and cannot be flushed away. Terrible, terrible. Another product bites the dust.

Very disappointed – I totally agree with Ronnie "Disappointed", SandraD "Grey & Dreary", Bmck "Disaster" and after 50 years of using it I too will be looking for something else if you can't bring back the original.

Disappointed – I'm so disappointed with the change in this product, its grey powder feels grubby and isn't anywhere as efficient as the original product, I'm going to have to find something else to use, I don't like it at all!!

Grey and dreary – I just bought Ajax powder which I have used for 40 plus years and it is grey! It is awful and doesn't feel at all like I'm cleaning anything and, in fact, feels like I'm pouring dirt onto my surfaces. Please bring back the original product.

Disaster – What has happened to my favourite product of many years just bought new stock and it is like cleaning with dirty grey mud and a disgusting odour. Bring back the old product ie if it aint broken why fix it.

Cheap but does its job – This cleaner is among the most reliable cleansers that I can find in the market. No complicated ingredients and scents and other additives which only complicates cleaning but this one has been existing in the market since I was young and still remains to be the same. it leaves a clean smell and a a clean look especially on my tiled floors and… Read more

bathrooms and even the kitchen sink. Sometimes though I feel that it is no longer available in some big supermarkets as they have their own brands but once I get hold of it, I hard them and stock large amounts to last for a year.

Cleans Well – I have always been using Ajax cleanser for cleaning the bathroom, the toilet and even the sink. It has powerful formulation that really removes stains and leaves a clean scent into these often grimy areas. I just don't like that it leaves white powder that looks like baking soda. I had to use more water to remove this powdery residue. But all in… Read more

all I am very satisfied with this old reliable cleanser that leaves my tiles clean and bathroom smelling fresh all the time.

Best Of The Best! – I am in LOVE with AJAX POWDER CLEANSER. I do not use anything else but this for cleaning from utensils to kitchen sink, shower screen, bath, laundry sink, tile floor...pretty much everything! I WOULD LITERALLY HANG MYSELF IF THEY DISCONTINUED THIS GEM!!!! I don't see them around much. Only local Reject shop stocks it once in a blue moon. I wish it was available at all the stores.

Great product - still one of the best cleaning products! – I have been using this product for many years and absolutely love it! I use it mainly for cleaning bathrooms especially the bath but it is also great for cleaning old glass (I'm not sure about using it on new glass as it is softer these days) as well as kitchen sinks and laundry tubs. One dislike is the fact that there is no cover or lid and I… Read more

wonder why the manufacturers never did one. A suggestion would be a simple lid like on a Pringles pack - once you peel the sticker off the top, it doesn't stick well enough to seal it. A proper seal would be great and would stop it spilling when knocked over as well.

The best bathroom cleaner I have found – I have used Ajax bleach powder to clean my shower and it never lets me down. I have tried all of the liquid and new products that say that they leave your bathroom clean and fresh not once I hav I been satisfied with the results I always return back to good old Ajax and yes my showe sparkles and my friends always ask me what I use and the best is Ajax that's why it's been around so long .

Suggestion – I have been using ajax for years and the product does its job well. However, I would like to suggest that a good cover be develop. The present product cover is just a tape once peeled off it cannot be put back anymore.

Best bleach type product available – Great value for money. Just a sprinkle in the shower and a scrub with the brush does the trick. I don't bother with liquid shower cleaners. They aren't value for money. Ajax lasts for ages. Recently I scrubbed my deck with it with good results.

A family favourite that gets the job done the first time – My mum and grandmother both used to clean with Ajax Powder Cleanser and I still clean with it today. Nothing gets sinks, basins, tiles or showers as clean as this! My bathroom and kitchen literally gleam after cleaning with Ajax powder. Ajax powder is super easy to use, it disinfects and sanitises as it cleans, and rinses away much more easily… Read more

than Jif or cream cleansers. I love the no-nonsense and easily recognisable packaging and unlike many spray cleaners, there is no sticky residue left behind, just a clean, fresh smell. I always keep a few cans around the house because I'd be devastated if it ever went out of production! Keep up the good work, Ajax!

An old favourite that is still great value and readily avialable – This stuff has been around for many many years and remains a staple for certain cleaning jobs. Bear in mind that it's an older type of slightly abrasive powdered cleaner and is a dry scouring powder so be wary with using it on extra shiny plastics and chrome. I find this works brilliantly for scrubbing stainless steel, matte tiled areas and… Read more ·  1

also for getting stuck on stains from surfaces. It's usually okay for use on harder shiny surfaces if you take care.

This is what "Ajax" actually started as and unlike some of the newer "Ajax" products that simply inherited the name and have been a little disappointing this original has remained trustworthy. Cheap, Very effective when used correctly, easy to sprinkle, been around for ages, Can possibly be abrasive on modern "soft" plastics.

This is a powerful cleaner – This is a great product which cleans well. It is tough on stains and is great to use in the toilet or shower. It is easy to use as you just sprinkle some of the powder and the some water so that it can become a paste and then just scrub away the stains after some minutes. It is a very strongly scented, so it may not be ideal for those with… Read more ·  1

sensitive skin etc. This is a good product to use around the house and it works well. It is also very well priced and the bottle lasts a while. Cleans very well Very strong smelling

OK – a great general household cleaning agent that is cheap and requies little effort to remove stubborn stains. is cost effective his product has been around for years and is one you can rely on to remove tought maarks and stains to toilet bowls and shower bases. simply sprinkle and add a little water and scrub lightly and the stain will come off.… Read more

doesnt have a strong smell so i dont mind using it in confined spaces. not expensive to buy if the area you store the ajax in gets damp i find the powder contents will clump up and be difficult to sprinkle from the can. there is no sealable plastic lid just a tab if you can manage to keep it sticky

Excellent – I switched to mainly chemical free cleaners a few years ago but this is one I keep around for the shower and stains on the sink. I haven't found anything else that works quite as well, even the Ajax liquid cleaners don't work as well. This is one product that's been around forever and works well. Because its a powder you can use it as… Read more

concentrated as you want. Really gets out tough stains on sinks and showers that other cleaners don' get out. It isn't something that I like to use all the time as even though it contains a natural cleaner it still has chemicals that aren't great for you. Wear gloves when using it because it can irritate your skin.

Excellent – This is a good product to have around the house and it works well. My mum has been using since I was little and its a great product that really works. I find it very useful and I know that if I use it, I won't have to do a lot of scrubbing. This is a great product which really cleans and doesn't cost too much. It is tough on stains and is great to… Read more

use in the toilet or to clean tough shower stains. Just sprinkle some of this powder and sprinkle some drops of water so that it can become a paste and then just scrub away the stains after some minutes. It is a bit strongly scented, I think because of the bleach, so it may not be ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Excellent – My Mum used thos when I was little.Cleans loo's beautifully! shake in loo before bedtime, and wake up to a clean and pleasant smelling loo!! I have used it to take the rust mark off an old bath, with good results and not too much elbow grease. Can be used around the house, check first for suitability. Ajax is an old company that has been well and… Read more

Excellent – I have recently started using this again. I mop the floors with this every second time. It is a simple product to use. I put a few shakes into a bucket of hot water and mop the floors to a great standard. With no overpowering smells and a clean floor I am happy with the result every time. I also like the fact it is simply packed. Not paying for… Read more

some fancy shape that does not hepl clean the floor. Does a great job. Does not have an overpowering smell. I do not dislike anything about this.
