Gumption Multi Purpose Cleanser
Verified100 reviews
The best product I have ever used in my life! It works fantastically on everything, removes all household stains that nothing else can, cleans walls, tiles, bench tops, painted bannisters, stains on furniture to name just a few. It is exceptional for cleaning and shining stainless steel, my kitchen cupboards, kettle, sink, taps and draining board… Read more
look brand new after using this stuff! I even used it for my Nans headstone which had discolored really badly over 30 years, it is now the whitest headstone in the cemetery. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Gumption used to be wonderful; now it is soft, runny, and doesn't go as far as it used to. Seems as though some watery material added to formulation to make it go further for the supplier, worse for the consumer, and not as effective either. Show details

Gumption damaged my kitchen floor – I used gumption to clean some high heels stain of my kitchen floor and the product simple took off all the colour and the brightness of the floor. I am really disappointed with this product and have know idea what can I do. Show details
Positive reviews
Old time favourite – This is just such an old time favourite. I always have a tub of it under my sink. Brings up old stainless steel sinks to a shiny level. Was one of my mothers favourite products.
This is amazing - a must for the pantry – Does the job! I have just tried this and to be perfectly honest, this product exceeded my expectations. Definitely value for money and works even outside of the kitchen. Highly recommended Show details
Renewed Headlights – I used gumption to remove the yellowing on daughters car headlights. The car was 15 years old but polished the yellowing off and improved the driving lights at night. What can’t gumption do! Show details

Whoops, who has been playing with the formula – I am a big fan of Gumption. It is a great product with many applications. Last tub purchased was only a couple of weeks back, and it has changed dramatically. It is almost to pour it out of the tub now as it is sooooo runny. I have written to the manufacturer in the hope that they have an explanation. Production date 21/12/2022
reply to review "Great Product" Oct 8, 2018 – Be careful - acetone is no good for you. All those stains you mentioned (turmeric, flower pollen) can be dissolved very easily with a bit of vegetable oil and wiped away with a damp cloth with a drop of washing up liquid in it. Acetone is overkill. It is easily absorbed through skin. It's a significant irritant, especially to skin but not nice for… Read more
the respiratory tract, either. Do use gloves if you do use it and don't use a lot of it or use it too often...your liver may not like it as that's how any absorbed bits get out of your system.
Great on Tiles – Tried this recently while I was cleaning the shower. It made the tiles look great, removed all soap scum and left a nice shine behind. Wasn't so great at cleaning mould, though, so I had to use something else. I'm going to try it on the kitchen bench next, hopefully it leaves a nice shine there too.

Better than the new Jif – For the past 30 years I hated Gumption -- I was a big fan of Jif Cream Cleanser (it worked better than Gumption). But now that Jif is no longer made in Australia (now some horrible watery muck from overseas) I am happily using Gumption. I miss my Jif, but I'd prefer Australian-made Gumption than anything else on the market. Show details
Seriously, what can't it do? – I was recommended to use gumption by a friend and I have since used it to clean a variety of things such as pot stains on tiles, burnt grease on a stove top, calcium stains on tiles. It's amazing Show details
A must have – This is so useful to have around the house, we have used for so many years and will continue to do so. Like magic, and a great invention, i recommend it Show details

The many wonderful uses of Gumption, – One of the best cleaning products invented. When I was a young boy I would watch my mother take out the Gumption from under the sink. It would amaze me how sparkling clean the stove top and the stainless sink would always be. A little goes a long way. It's great for pots and pans and barbeques! Works well with a non scratch scouring pad. Highly recommend. Show details
Cleaned my oven pans when other products couldnt – Used a little of this magic stuff to clean my oven pans and sink. Even removed soap scum from the bath. Less is best with this wonderful product. Will def buy as this product is timeless Show details
Gumption works the best – To those who think Gumption scratches surfaces I have used it for over 11 years on my tempered glass shower doors and stone benches. Light rubbing works a treat. Don’t fear, give it a go. Show details
Stain remover too – I had a tough week old stain to remove from a sheet and it came out with gumption with a damp cloth. No soaking of item necessary just threw in the wash A+ Show details
Best Cleaner Ever! – I have been using Gumption for about 15 years. I have to say it would be THE best all purpose cleaner on the market, hands down! It is gentle enough to use on 'fragile' surfaces OR tough enough to use on heavily stained glass shower doors etc. The trick with this product is to dampen the surface with water BEFORE you start using Gumption. Know… Read more
what you are cleaning, know the quality of what you are cleaning. For example, when using on stainless steel sinks, go crazy!! Sinks are tough!! If using on a more delicate stainless steel surface, use less pressure, less product and more warm water, be gentle and the results are outstanding! I have put so many people onto this amazing product and my most favourite feature of Gumption is that it rinses away with little water and residue. Buy some today!!!!
Best cleaning product ever – I am a Property Manager and I recommend Gumption to my tenants. Best cleaning product ever. Ticks all the boxes. Wish I could get samples to give to my tenants. Once they try it they would never look back. Show details
Gumption is a staple in my house! – Gumption is definitely a must have in our home. I have used it for everything, from outdoor tiled areas, to ovens, to walls. It is wonderful. It doesnt leave a chalky residue like i initially thought it might, and even the most stubborn marks are no match. There is not one mark around my house that I have not been able to remove with gumption. Show details
This changed my life :) – Im so happy that i have tried gumption, it is a liquid version of magic eraser and even better. I used it for almost everything in my home especially for the kitchen :) Show details
Great for the environment – We have been using Gumption for cleaning the white surfaces on our boat after a suggestion from another boatie. It's perfect ! It brings everything back to life - and it's not harmful so we can use it anywhere on the water. Another bonus is it is spillproof and small so easy to store when you have limited storage. The tub we have has lasted forever . Show details

One of the best – Has stood the test of time. Original and still one of the best. Removes grease n grime in showers, kitchen, and more. Brings up a stainless steel kitchen sink like a dream. Show details
Oldie But A Goodie – As an ex-professional cleaner, and a busy mum, I have had to clean my fair share of messes and Gumption is my go-to cleaner! I have recommended it to so many friends who ask me, “How do you clean your toaster/cooktop/marks off walls/shower glass/rangehoods/sinks, etc?”. What I love most about Gumption is that it is a soft paste so you don’t have… Read more
to worry about it running down a vertical surface or being sloppy like some other cleaners, and you don’t spray it so no airway irritation as with spray cleaners. It doesn’t scratch, has a pleasant clean smell, is quite affordable and a tub lasts forever so it’s great value for money. Just wet your cloth (or for dirty shower glass, use a steel wool pad) and start rubbing. Best general cleaner ever!
gumption is a must have for all households – Gumption is the best product in the market to clean everything and remove scuff marks. It is a must have for every household !! Being a Real Estate agent I speak about gumption nearly daily to clients and even have spare gumption in my car to show them how to use it and how wonderful it cleans anything Show details
Best cleaning product i seen in life – This is the best cleaning product i used so far nice smell my tiles in bathroom looks much better after using that. No need to buy so many chemicals for different use it can be used on different surfaces Thanks Show details
Great for everything! – This is a great product! It can be used in the kitchen in the bathroom in the laundry and in the entire house. Can almost replace all other cleaners you have. Show details
My absolute fave product – [Content Removed] my dijonaise right away. I spilt Dijonaise all over my [Content Removed], and when i went to clean it with gumption, it just [Content Removed] it right away
Suprisingly good – This stuff is suprisingly good. Faster & more effective than bleach getting rid of dark buildup around bath drain hole (this is where we stand when having a shower). Its gritty but smoothes out nicely with a dash of water. Smell isnt great but not offensive either. Definitely worth having a tub.
Love this stuff – The isn't anything a tub of Gumption can't clean in a household. Three generations of my family have used it and that's because it works. It's my go to for markers on the wall left by little kids and best oven and stainless steal cleaner.
GIANT MUST HAVE FOR MY HOME☆☆☆☆☆ – I keep a few tubs in stock at home at all times. I've been using it for years and a real fear of mine is one day it will no longer be available. Touch wood that never happens. Not only does it work wonders on all it says it does and then some...it's very affordable and a lil really does go a long way but also very friendly for my family I have 4… Read more
children and 1 with a serious lung disease and another who has allergies to many things and also gets eczema. Knowing I can clean without them inhaling toxic chemicals and or bathing showering in a toxic tub and shower it's a huge piece of mind to me on many levels. And love buying an Australian made product too. I'll add a lil tip for every one. I like to put 2 tsp of gumption I a jug and dissolve with hot water and then pour into a spray bottle and top with water. I use it anywhere and everywhere from inside microwave to grubby light switches and around them on walls. Wiping out dash area in car all round bottom and behind toilet bowls door knobs and cabinet hardware my pantry shelves inside my washing machine. Open lid when water has filled so drum has dropped and can get around inside easier. It's the ideal go to cleaner for everything. Even pop a lil dollop in dishwasher. It explains the saying " get a bit of gumption about ya" perfectly lol
Good cleaner but can leave marks – This is a great cleaner that's been around for years. However you need to wash it off well otherwise it leaves marks eg on shower screens. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil will leave your shower and bathroom smelling lovely.
