Mr Sheen Furniture Polish
Verified29 reviews
I am soooo disappointed with new Mr Sheen. The new design container is harder to press and the fresh bouquet I have loved for so many years has gone. Such a shame. A far inferior product to what it used to be. Show details
So disappointed with new Me Sheen. I’ve been using it for over 40 rears.. loved the fragrance and the way it polished.. NOT anymore. Soooo so disappointed. Hate the new spray as well, so hard to press. Show details
Bad spray nozzle – The new spray cap is terrible the product goes everywhere. l have tried a few different bottles and they all do the same. l have used Mr Sheen for a long time but l will have to find a new product that sprays better. Show details
New Floral Fragrance is garbage – Mr Sheen (Original or Regular) has been a great product for years, however, lately no retailers are carrying it near me, instead it is being replaced by the new "Floral" fragrance. It is disgusting! The manufacturer tells me the Original Mr Sheen is available at Coles, but no supermarket/hardware etc has it near me. If I can't get the Original version I will stop using it. Great way to screw up a perfectly good product. Show details
Mr Sheen furniture Polish – Waste of money. Paid $8.00 for this over priced can of furniture polish. Coles furniture polish is excellent & only $3.95 Show details
AROMA – The fragrance is horrible. Like blocks of moth balls sprayed dipped in flowery toilet cleaner. The product itself is good but with such an sickly aroma I'll not be buying it again. It's been used twice three tossed in the bin. Show details
Disappointed in the change – VERY disappointed in the change in fragrance & the new spray cap. Been using it for many years to detail motorcycles after their service but will now need to find a replacement polish. The floral fragrance doesn’t exactly suit motorcyclists. Show details
Terrible new fragrance – The original Mr Sheen is one of my favourite, powerful childhood smells and I'm now in my 60's. My grandmother used it and mother used it, and I still do, at least up until now. I just used the new one, not realising it had changed to this godawful Floral Fragrance, and it's appalling. Makes the house smell like a public toilet and made me sneeze and feel sick. If I could give it zero stars I would. Show details
Not the same – Was happily surprised a few weeks ago to see Mr Sheen changed to a no- lid push button cap. Soon got over that feeling because it's very hard to get it to spray finely plus now has an unpleasant overpowering odour! Mr Sheen has been my go to dusting polish for 40 years but sadly I'll be changing brands.... Show details
The Standard has slipped and no one wants to take the blame! – The Spray doesn't spray anymore and it's nearly full.The Standard has deteriorated and no one wants to take blame! Show details
No more im done – I had been buying mr sheen for approx 30 years now it won't spray properly if at all at times don't know what you have done but it is also very watery replaced one that didn't work just to pay for another one that didn't work it is not what it used to be seriously going to have to change brands very disappointing it used to be a great.polish but I'm done persevering for bad result Show details
Bring back the old Mr Sheen formula – The formula has changed, it is watery, and it does not clean, wax and shine like the original formula. I have been using Mr Sheen for roughly 35 years it has always been a trusted brand in my cleaning regime. Disappointed with this product. Show details
New formula just doesn't do what the slogan said it used to do – Some time back, the makers of Mr Sheen changed the can graphics from a screened 'paint' logo on the can to a cheap 'wrap' type covering. I noticed that the the formula changed at the same time to a very watery makeup. It no longer "cleaned waxed and polished as you dusted" as a separate microfibre cloth was now necessary to obtain a polished… Read more
finish. I've been using Mr Sheen since 1977 and have always been happy with it. I was hoping the formula would revert back to the one that actually works in one application/action, but it remains a watery memory of it's former excellent formula . Brickbats to the manufacturers. I'll be switching to a different product after 45 years.

Its changed for the worse – I cant believe they changed it! The smell is just terrible, makes me feel sick. It leaves streaks and doesn't clean as well. 30 yrs of cleaning motorcycles. NO MORE, Its in the bin Show details
Terrible do not buy !!!!!!! – So i received this on Thursday night and was looking forward to slapping some on my fodda. Eager to do so i quickly smothered the mr sheen all over my head. At first it look very good and shiny and made my head look sexy but it started to annoy the missus because of how bright and shiny the moon was ( my head) due to this she kicked me out the… Read more
house and i was forced to stay at my mom and moms house. It was pitch black but luckily there was two moons in town tonight. Also later on my head started to rash and unfortunately i looked like a baboons butt. It was very painful never again!
Same problem!!! – I used to buy this product years ago but moved to another brand, I was sick to death of the white spray cap coming off everytime i used it.. Well last week they were on offer so i thought they must of sorted out the bad fitting spray now.. Nope! same ridiculous problem..cap fell off and spray now pours out of the sides and not the spray hole... I can't believe this huge company still have a sprayer unfit for purpose... Show details
This used to be the "Go Too" cleaning product in Australia – But Reckitt and Benckaiser - have ruined the formulation - it now appears to contain about 30 - 40% emulsified water. Chemically - it may be a good thing, but it can also be viewed as cheap skating on the active ingredients, kind of like when Kiwi shoe polish got sold to the Indonesians - and they turned the Parade Gloss from turpentine, waxes and… Read more
carbon black, into a cheap and nasty water based emulsion, with a little soot to make it dark. When it tanked and totally failed to sell, the cheap skates changed it back.
And not only do they NOT have an office in Australia (very disrespectful) they don't even acknowledge Australia in their international data base of offices. AND Mr Sheen is not even listed in their product range.
This used to be the go too product for pretty much every house in Australia, and it was one of the mandatory products to keep in the cleaning products cupboard.
But now, with all the product they sell in Australia, to only include the Australian head office contact details, in tiny writing, on the bottom, and the back of the can, for a product manufactured in the UK - what gives?
I don't hate the product, but when rivuletts of water run down my computer monitor (water + electronics), when I apply the product, it does not exactly fill me with confidence and enthusiasm.
Maybe use it on the bed knobs and the vases, but I think the product has been cheapened rather than left as is or even dare I say it, improved.
You know, a fairly pricey QUALITY product, instead of a cheap skate product formulation.
So the product is not exactly bad or evil, but given the fact that they dumped an apparently GOOD formulation, and when that failed to sell, they then readvertised "Gone Back to the Original Formulation" - that says something about going cheap skate on the product and then having the scunginess blowing up in your faces - The only reason why it was good, was because of it's original formulation and the "highly insightful" bean counters went all cheap skate on that and double crossed their consumer base - we the people who bought the product, that paid your wages.
What have you done to a once great product! Its so bad that i thought it is made in china! Shame! – Not the same results! I am not happy it just doesn't polish like it use to poor product. Bring back the original! It is simply not original like it states shame im not going to buy it again Show details
Very effective furniture polish but pricy – Can be use on furniture ,lamp ,fridges (external only ),bathroom mirrors , and I use it on Monitor as well. Works perfect and brand new alike ,but not cheap and most of the time this items does not on sale on Coles and Woolworths Show details
Mr Sheen has changed, very disappointed – I recently bought some Mr Sheen. I had difficulty finding it at first, as I was looking for the traditional brown toned can with cream lid. It is bright red now and just touch the lid and it breaks into pieces. I thought "oh well it has been a long time, hopefully it is only the packaging that has changed"... So I started using and immediately… Read more
I knew it was different. One, it does not smell nice like it used to, and two, it does not work half as well. What a disappointment. Why would someone change the recipe of something that worked well and was very popular? If the makers see this review I would like you to reconsider returning to the original recipe. If not, I predict the product won't sell well and will, eventually, be taken off the market. Such a shame this iconic product has been altered for the worse.
But... “Trigger Pack” version of Mr Sheen makes RUST ! – I have used the pressure pack spray version of Mr Sheen for many years to polish and preserve the hardware such as cymbal stands and shell fittings on my drum kits. One time in an attempt to be more Earth friendly I tried the “trigger pack” version to preserve a brand new snare drum and found the fittings RUSTY the next day! I was not impressed. After that I returned to only using the product in the steel pressure pack.
Not happy Mr Sheen – This product has lost it's sheen . Been a user since my teens to clean my motorcycles. Now after using the same product it leaves streaking marks on the paint work and water stains. Formula has obviously been changed usually comes down to cost cutting to make more profit

Mr Sheen Multi Surface Polish – The name on the tin of Mr Sheen that I have, is stated as above, "Mr Sheen Multi Surface Polish". It also says "with Weatherguard." It has the same smell and foamy texture as the Mr Sheen that has been around since the 1950's I use this product for cleaning the see-thru visor on my motorcycle helmet and the white fairings on my scooter. It puts… Read more
a smooth surface on everything I clean and if the surface gets wet, it will make the water bead, so it runs off easily.
I use it as a finishing product on tables and benches and It also cleans off some minor dirty spots.
As it is designed for inside use, i wouldn't expect it to have very good sun protection properties or be long lasting outdoors, but it is easy to reapply if the right product is not available.
I have no complaints about this product and will continue to use it.
Mr sheen original – I normally buy spring fresh polish, my son purchased the original by mistake, and what a mistake, it smells like fly spray, its disgusting. It is in the bin now.
Rubbish – Can’t believe Mr Sheen is a furniture polish which stains. The polish stained my wallpaper when it dripped from the dado rail. Not even bleach could get rid of the stain! Finally had to cover it with paint. I am throwing the tin away.
not happy – i have always brought mr sheen and always was happy with the product but it does not do the job any more am going to replace it with another product. Am really diappointed in a product that has always been excellent
Mr.Sheen New Fragrance – Mr.Sheen works beautifully on leather, when no time for leather protecting and polishing, use in between. Old Mr. Sheen ran out so purchased new Fragrance, OMG within 5 mins the smell was making me feel sick, smells like bathroom hygiene products, gag!!! Bring back the retro old smell!! Had to do the lounges and chairs in stages so not to be overcome by the fumes, but you sure work little Mr.Sheen, love you little man!!!
Mr Sheen does what it says – How silly to say it attracts dust, you just see it more. It can't create dust, besides if you want dust free surfaces it should be polished say once a week and a light dust over should be done each day and that takes a couple of minutes Mr.Sheen may show it up but kept clean it's magic. You should dust every day. Our dead skins cells make up… Read more
most of the dust. Often if you are dusting wrong all you are doing is moving it around. Always use a damp clothe to dust it actually takes the dust away, you are putting it into the clothe and not making it float around the air to find a new dusting spot ... without a damp cloth all you are doing is rearranging the dust.
Hope this is helpful. Works as it says. So easy to use. Smells and looks great when the room is done. I really love the product and is what I have stuck with. I don't like aerosols or sprays that create too fine a mist.I also miss the adds.
a good furniture polish – A lovely furniture polish that has a very subtle scent to it. it gets the furniture clean and is not that expensive to buy its available from all the major supermarkets. My only issues with this polish is that it seems to attract the dust. Only a day after dusting there is often a big film of dust again on the surfaces that i just dusted the day… Read more
before. So although it does clean well it does attract the dust making you use more product and also using up more time and energy which is a precious commodity in my household. smells nice gets the job done attracts the dust
