HG Coffee Machine Descaler, Tough Scale Remover for Espresso & Pod Machines – 500ml

Awesome degreaser, the BEST cleaning product I've ever used in my kitchen. I used it to degrease and clean all 24 cupboard and drawer fronts on my kitchen before painting them. The paint adhered perfectly to the super-cleaned surfaces. I'd usually use sugar soap solution to degrease and prime surfaces for painting but tried HG Degreaser as an experiment. So glad I did. The grease seems to dissolve within a few seconds of contact with very little rubbing needed. I used a green scouring pad and a microfibre cloth after the spray solution had been left for a few minutes. The smell of the product us quite 'heady' / verging on the unpleasant, but I had the windows and door open to dissipate the smell. It almost smells a little like nail varnish remover, but not as vile. It leaves no streaks and seemed to remove every last trace of grease. Recommended 100%, just as good as sugar soap, only quicker and more convenient in the spray form.

Does the job, cleans the hob. spray comes out great, not too aggressive. Smells strong but not overpowering and does a good job of making the hob look shiny! busts through grease no problem. Would recommend.

I’ve been using the HG Grease Away Cleaner for a while now, and it’s definitely one of the more effective kitchen degreasers I’ve tried. It comes in a 500 ml spray bottle that’s simple to handle, and the spray quality is excellent — it delivers a consistent, even mist that covers surfaces well without dripping or wasting product.The spray effectiveness really shows on greasy surfaces. It clings well to cooker hoods, splashbacks, oven doors, and cupboard fronts without running off too quickly, allowing it to break down oil and fat effectively. You don’t need to use much for it to work, which contributes to its durability — the bottle lasts longer than expected even with frequent use.As for quality, the formula feels professional-grade. It cuts through stubborn grease quickly, and I rarely need to go over the same area twice. The cleaner also performs well on both metal and laminate surfaces, and I’ve had no issues with damage or discolouration.One of the standout features is its smear removal and smear resistance. After wiping away the product, surfaces come out looking clean and streak-free — especially glass and stainless steel, which are often tricky. It doesn’t leave a film or residue behind, and I’ve noticed surfaces stay cleaner for longer, which suggests some resistance to future smudging.Overall, this is a reliable and well-performing degreaser that delivers great results with minimal effort. The combination of effective spray action, cleaning power, and streak-free finish makes it an excellent choice for everyday kitchen cleaning. It’s also great value considering how long one bottle can last.

HG Grease Away has become a staple in my cleaning routine. It's incredibly effective at cutting through stubborn grease on various surfaces, including hobs, extractor fans, and tiles. The spray is easy to apply, and after letting it sit for a few seconds, a quick wipe leaves surfaces sparkling clean.What I appreciate most is its versatility and efficiency. Whether it's tackling the aftermath of a hearty roast or everyday cooking splatters, this cleaner handles it all without the need for excessive scrubbing. It's also safe to use on a range of materials like stainless steel, enamel, and aluminium, which adds to its practicality. The pleasant scent is a bonus, making the cleaning process more enjoyable.Overall, HG Grease Away delivers consistent results and makes kitchen cleaning less of a chore. It's a product I trust and highly recommend to anyone looking for an effective degreasing solution.

Nowhere near as good as Eco Descalk which appears not be available in the UK anymore. Does an average job, leaves no taste behind. For my Gaggia Classic it would need to be used more frequently for same effect but only once a stronger product has cleared the machine.

Good to have ready to use each month. Good value ‘ better than sachets. Useful on our coffee machines as well as kettle, shower head & to freshen up taps too

Works well but only did one defrost.

Cleaning power:We had an embarrassing build up of grease around our extractor fan and the walls/ceiling/cupboards nearby. This cuts through it all almost instantly and then the grease wipes off. Everything we cleaned looks almost like new again now!Quality:Really easy to use, spray on, count to ten, wipe off. And the bottle is a decent size so there’s plenty left for the next time we need to clean around our extractor fan and the hobs.
