Cillit Bang

I have just seen another advert for Cilit Bang.... and yet I have never seen the actual product in a shop! Not that I go searching for that kind of thing generally, but a few people have mentioned the adverts and were wondering if it was a spoof! Normally the advert come on a few weeks before products are released in shops, but these ads have been running for months now!

So if anyone has actually seen this infamous cleaning product, please let me know!

  • It does exist.

  • BEWARE OF CILIT BANG!

    Oh yes it does definitely exist, I bought some weeks ago and it has wrecked my kitchen worktop. I had a nice new kitchen fitted 5 months ago and had black/grey granite effect worktop. After cleaning my kichen sink I put the bottle of Cilit Bang on the worktop. To my horror I discovered that there is a ring the shape of the bottom of the bottle on the worktop where the Cilit Bang has dripped down the bottle and discoloured the worktop.

    Also, the bottle states that baths/sinks can be cleaned with Cilit Bang but they do not mention anything about gold plated plugs/taps. I rang the manufacturers of Clit Bang and they told me it may discolour gold plated items. Why not warn people on the bottle?

  • Well after reading that comment, I don't think I want it anymore, however it seemed such a great product, regardless it's illusiveness... now you know, can't believe everything you see on telly!

  • I have not used the product and probably wont as its so expensive.
    But I do love the TV ad its so naff and amatureish thatit actually goes full circle and ends up being entertaining (if you see what I mean).
    As a matter of interest who makes it?

  • I have been looking for the stuff for ages too, in fact thats why I typed it into google and got this! Where did you get it? and did it do a good job of cleaning the bath etc despite the gold plated taps thing?

  • I found Cillit Bang in Tesco. I think one of the problems is, as soon as they put the stuff on the shelf... it is bought.

    What fantastic advertising!

    By Craig, at 5:53 PM  

  • I too was looking out for the infamous "Wonder Product" for months. My husband and I have been keeping an eye out for this product for a while. It is right that in advertising they advertise a few weeks before the product goes into the shop to get everybody interested and ready to buy - but I think people will eventually get tried and weary of seeing this product and unable to buy it. The closest that I have got to the product is going on the Cillit Bang website to see where I can purchase this amazing product but unfortunately, to no avail. I think the company name that has produced this product is called Reckitt Benckiser - the leader in household products. I think they also produced Vanish Oxi Max the stain remover product. To all that are still desperate to actually try this product, it might be worthwhile to visit their website every now and then.

    Their website details is : www.cillitbang.co.uk.
    (Remember to look under the Home Care Section).

    All the best.

  • Well, I whatch the adds and bought the product. Like anthing acid based you have to use it with extreme caution and I bet the company ends up getting loads of complains about how it managed to wreck their marriage or turn there mother into a man, or something. But it really does work. Especially on shifting water marks from glass shower screens. I tried the new penny trick in an old jam jar... a few days later the the penny had melted!!! Its acid in a spray bottle, why have they not thought of that before... "Eye" do not know...

    By Craig, at 8:50 PM  

  • Its rubbish, you can find it, but you cant use it on anything other than stainless stell sinks.

    And if you want to clean pennies, use cola, Cillit does hee haw!

  • i love cilit bang actually. i remember fitrst seeing the ad.i switched on the telly and on walked the gorgeous Barry Scott, with his film star looks and sexy smooth voice. He was straight to the point- he didnt mess around. He was serious and you could tell. He impressed me with his knowledgable facts and his amazing demonstrations. I tell you- that ad changed me. I immediately dashed down to my local, in my slippers, and happily handed over the few quid that has enriched my cleaning lifestyle. As i walked back in the front door, my fingers trembled as they grasped the sturdy handle, and with one puff, my mantelpiece shone gloriously. i tell you it was money well spend.

    Recently i witnessed another blessing- NEW Cilit Bang crystals! wow! i have never been so excited! i immediately bought them and put them to the test (of course i didnt need to, as i knew i could trust cilit bang, but i thought it would be a bit of fun-and fun it was!). I wiped that dirty deck chair of mine that has been bugging me for ages, and -oh my god- it was just like the ad! it is now glittering and wonderful-like cilit bang. In fact, i am sitting on it now, typing on my laptop...

    To those fools who dismiss Cilit Bang, shame on you! How dare you! To think that barry has gone through all this trouble to bring you-yes YOU- an affordable, reliant, and beautiful cleaning agent such as cilit bang, and that you think so little of it! it makes me so angry!

    Anyway, as mentioned above, cilit bang rocks! and long live the gorgeous barry scott!

    By Bob Cotter, at 5:56 PM  

  • I love Cillit Bong! Its a revolutionary cleaning product!

    By Barry Bard, at 6:05 PM  

  • i completely agree with bill and bob- those guys clearly know what theyre talkin about!

    Im actually from Texas and Cillit Bang is not bangin' (excuse the pun!) round here.

    Whilst on holiday to your wonderful country, i noticed an advertisement selling Cillit Bang, with fronted by the convincing Barry Scott. I was impressed, bought it, and have never looked back!

  • I got some from Tescos and it did not work, taste bad aswell but not quite as acidic as HP Sauce or Coke.
    It did work on my hands the skin on the back of them has developed a curious sort of shine.

  • I think we should all appreciate the wonderful Barry Scott.
    I have recently become obsessed - just slightly - with Cilit Bang , (probably due to my never ending housewife fantasies of rubber gloves, feather dusters, rolling pins and other housewife/ household implements and utensils)
    My mother tells me its good. Cilit Bang that is.
    So, laydeez get on your stockings and kitten heels and live out them filthy dirty dreams!

  • Once you get over the wonder of having shiny coins, you realise that Cilit Bang is pretty rubbish. After I read the *huge* list of surfaces is cannot be used on, I went back to cleaning pennies. I dont even want to think of the damage this pink stuff is doing to the environment.

  • Bought the stuff. First thing that struck me is how utterly toxic it smells. It doesn't work particularly well. Won't be spending my money on it again.

  • Hi everyone,

    Barry Scott here from the Cillit Bang adverts. And no, not an imposter pretending to be Barry Scott. Jeez, I've seen so many people online pretending to be me and I just don't get it. So here I am to put things right.

    I saw that you were all discussing whether Cillit Bang or me existed and I thought I'd drop you all a line to say that both me and the Bang are actually real.

    For anyone interested, I've recently set up my own blog. I'm hoping to host the new ad on there soon as we've actually just finished filming it in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully it should be up there very soon. I'd also love to hear from any of you by email at thebarryscott [AT] yahoo.co.uk.

    You can also see my blog at www.barryscott.blogs.com. Feel free to provide me with comment. I've only started doing this thing and could really help with some advice from you experts.

    Till the next time,

    Barry

  • cillit bang, cillit bang, cillit, cillit, cillit bang, there is a pretty groovy techno type parody out there in space, be warned do not use this product on warm toilets as it strips the furry bits from your lungs, it plays havoc with your eye site too, I am now blind in one eye!

  • I have never tried this stuff, and never will all the time this noisy idiot shouts in the ridiculous advert on tv - I hate him and the badly named product. Get rid of him and I just might try it - just MIGHT - no promise.

    By grumpy old man!, at 10:34 PM  

  • Do the marketers realize how counter-productive the latest advert is. With the fella SHOUTING at us about what a wonderful product it is. The first thing we do is switch him off!!!! If I wanted it I would go and buy it not have someone YELLING at me to do so, so you can keep it and I wish you would keep your advert too, my off switch is getting worn out!!!!!!!!!!!!
