Jif Cream

Gone from the best to the worst – This stuff *WAS* my favourite cleaner for 30 years -- cleaned countless things around the house, and did a terrific job, but ... now is it utterly useless. The product that was made in Australia worked. The new product (made in Asia) is horrific. It DOES NOT CLEAN. It is just a watery mess. Do not buy!!! It is not as good as the original Jif, but from now on, I'll be buying Gumption. Show details
I bought the lavender jif toilet cleaner my toilet has got permanent stains or purple colours I used bleach to remove the purple stains but they r permanent. Absolutely rubbish how can such a company make this product Show details
Have been using this product in place of the original Jif, in my opinion, it’s not as effective in cleaning, it’s watery & does a poor lack lustre job at cleaning white baths, sinks & tough stains off stainless steel pots. The original Jif always did a very good job. I’ll be going back to the original Jif. Show details
Follow-up · Hi, I feel the same about the Jif spray. The scent is just right, spray mechanism is fine, it’s really just the runny liquid & I do believe it doesn’t clean the surface as well as the original Jif, Just my opinion.

The new Jif cream spray is useless. You need twice the product amount as it’s not thick enough & it doesn’t clean as well as the normal thicker Jif cream. Show details
Jif Cream top – This is my idea for a new top I have been using for years.....the top is from a popular detergents top great and never clogs up far better than you top you may like my idea .....Audrey Robinson Scottsdale Tasmania Show details

Professional Range a must – Bought at Mitre 10 @$12.50 which is a good price for 1.5 litres. Good dispensing unit and cap doesn’t break. No blockages so pours well. Always a great clean especially heavy grim on stove and in the oven Show details
its back – went to Bunnings and found a 1.5 litre Jif. Great product. A lot better than the small supermarket brand. This is the Professional range. $10 great value and works so well. Show details
Works Well – Jif has been around for a long time and I have been using it for most of that time. I have tried different brands over the years but always came back to Jif. It does everything it claims,it comes out of the container easily and you dont have to wear your arm out…just rub small circles with a sponge or a soft scrubber My sink shines like a new pin… Read more
every time I use it. The bathroom smells delightful whenever I clean it. It comes in Original or Lemon…I prefer original. It has never been expensive…a 500ml container is $3.60 in Coles…good value for money because it goes a long way.
Negative reviews
Below Par – I will never buy this Jif product again..EVER. The old Jif was always a product used happily and effectively. Now, the latest Jif bottle I bought, made in Asia, is nothing like the original Jif.There are that many warnings on the back of the bottle- wear eye protection, face mask, keep bottle nearby in case you have to ring the Poisons Information Centre. I threw the bottle out.
Jif is too watery now - he doesn’t work – I similarly agree Jif is so watery now it’s hopeless and I’ve been using it imy entire life. I am 67 years old and from now on I’m going to use gumption. Show details
NEW JIFF FORMULA IS RUBBISH!! – NEW FORMULA IS RUBBISH!! Have been using Jiff for years with great results. It used to be a 375ml bottle made in Australia. I recently purchased another bottle which I noticed was bigger and not Australian made anymore. It’s almost like water now and does not have the grit that used to remove build up grease on kitchen tiles, sinks etc with little… Read more
elbow grease. Why change such a good product for this rubbish. It’s no better than the no name brands or even spray and wipe. Apparently some people complained the grit clogged the outlet. Simply unblock it with a pin. The grit is what removed the baked on stains.

Original Jif was great, new recipe is terrible – Why change the recipe for what has always been really good, dependable, well respected product?? The new recipe is watered down and ineffective, so don’t spend money on it thinking you will get the Jif you have always liked. Supermarket home brand cream cleanser is a lot cheaper and works better. Show details

Well, nope – Old Jif was five stars, this stuff still cleans but a lot more elbow grease goes in. Have moved to using Ajax and Gumption, because I can control how thick or thin I want the product. Had used Jif all my life, because I didn't want the bleach component of ajax in all areas, and Gumption was often overkill. But using them now because I'm getting… Read more
older and can't keep scrubbing away for eternity, as required with the new Jif. Completed the learning curve for the Jif replacement products and good results.
JIFF changed – It's no good any more. It used to be the best thing on the market. I could never live without it. Now it does nothing but giving my really aching hands and arms due to trying to make it clean. DON'T buy it. It's expensive. Won't clean like it says it will. Show details
Leaves powdery film – Jif has changed it has a very strong fragrance and when I used it it scratched my oven and frig and when I wash it off didn't matter how many time when I dry it had a powdery film that came of on my hands .my hands also became red and irrated will not re purchase again Show details
40mm of solids in container! – Purchased 2 Jif cream cleansers this year as my cleaning lady requested. I`ve always used the powder stuff for the last 40 years. Cleaner said after about 3 months use it felt heavy in base with nothing coming out. Cut container open & solids remaining. Product made in Vietnam. Returned to Woolies for Refund, NOT exchange. Show details
Not good anymore – I'm very disappointed with jif now. I've used it most of my life and it was amazing but they are producing it much thinner and doesn't clean like it originally did. Thin means more money for the company and more money the consumer pays Very disappointed jif Show details
Jif cream going hard in the container – I'm not sure what's changed with the Jif cream these days, but the cream has gone hard in the last 3 bottles I purchased. It seems to separate out into a very solid lump with watery liquid around it. If the same happens with the 4th bottle it will be the last time I buy it. Show details
Watered down – Used to be thick and worked so well now it's just rubbish and watered down.. that's a big rip off can't believe they did this.. please return it to the waybit was Show details
JIF was the best, formula has changed – JIF was so good. Always worked. Always cleaned. When contacting unilever after purchasing a bottle from Coles and then a 1.5 litre bottle from Bunnings which appeared to be the old formula to ask them why. Apparently people didn’t like the smell, the old formula was sandy, the bottle clogged. My response, I did not mind the smell, yes the formula… Read more
was gritty this is one of the reasons it worked so well, yes the bottle clogged, a quick pin an it worked again. So good on you JIF, your new formula smells nicer, you will need to use so much more, yet the end result will never be better than the older formula. New formula made overseas, old formula made in Australia. Absolutely ripped off! If anyone has old bottles they don’t want please reach out!

Jif ruined, should call it "bif" now – Straight away could tell its been changed and for the worse. No longer removes hard to remove stains and marks like it used to, doesn't even smell as potent anymore. Jif was awesome. Hope their shareholders are happy. Show details

The top – I saw my new container for Jiff looked better, as with the previous container the product kept clogging up and the hinge broke as time went on. For every bottle I purchased. I am disappointed that this top is no better. I press the lid down firmly, pick the product up, and the top opens. Can't fault the product itself, it does the job well. But with the top slightly open its contents is likey to clog up up the opening again.
I could not live without Jif! – I could not live without Jif! It is excellent for removing the stubborn stains and greasy marks in my kitchen. And, makes everything look so much better after you use it! Show details
Love Jif!!! – After many years of using Jif, this product never disappoints! I swear by it especially when it comes to removing stubborn stains in my kitchen that no other product can do. I will never not have a bottle of Jif in my cupboard. Show details
love this product – jif always gets the job done, been using for years in my house and never had any issues with it. definitely a cleaning staple of mine and will keep buying Show details
Great for cleaning stubborn stove top mess! – I love my Jif! Been using this for years and love using this product for my stovetop, the microparticles in it really do the job for times i've been a messy cook :)
New formula is terrible – Have always found jif to be the best cleaner but new formula is watery and weak, no better than the cheap no name brand so I'll no longer use this product Show details
Useless, skim milk is thicker – I ran out of my old bottle of jif with just a couple of meters of floor grout to go, started on the new bottle and it’s useless. Made the job sooo much harder and it still didn’t clean. There is a very distinct difference on my floor from the old v new product. On the hunt for a new product now. Show details
Hopeless new formula – No longer the good product it has always been. Doesn’t clean properly or rinse off well. Why did you change it??? :( I will be looking for a better product now. Such a shame. Show details
Worse than the original that I’ve used for 35 years – Why change something that worked this new version does not work. I want the original back that I’ve used for 35 years. This new version does half a job. I’ll have to change products Show details
Waste of time and money – I always used Jif, new version simply doesn’t work. I previously used mainly for cleaning a white sink, but more the black marks now remain Never will buy it again. Show details
Not Jif – Only the name is The same. Differant bottle Differant amount Differant product Made in differant country Not the Jif that we have been buying for 30 years It is to watered down,less small grit to clean hard stains Boycot this Jif Show details
