Whether you're sick of cleaning up after split bin bags or can't quite get your oven sparkling clean, these products tested by Which? will help you reach your kitchen's full potential.
Fairy Max Power Eucalyptus Antibacterial Washing Up Liquid (84%, Best Buy)
We like:We don't like:This is our Best Buy washing-up liquid for three years in a row because it does a brilliant job of removing fat at both 35 °C and 45 °C, cleaning more plates in our tests (46 and 65, respectively) than any other liquid.
Plus, the foam lasted longer than any other brand we tested and it was among the best at cleaning tough baked-on grease.
.Sainsburys Kitchen Cleaner with Bleach (79% Best Buy, Great Value)
We like: We don't like:This cleaning spray provides impressive results at a fraction of the price of similar products, which is why it gets our Best Buy and Great Value recommendations.
It cuts through burned-on hob stains with ease and even tackled surface stains caused by spilt curry left to dry overnight.
.Beast 10L Super Strong Compostable Drawstring Caddy Liners (96%, Best Buy)
We like:We don't like:These compostable caddy liners outperformed all others in our puncture-resistance tests and were the only food waste bags we tested to have compostable drawstring handles, making it a breeze to tie them up for disposal.
There were zero leaks found after four days tied up with wet food waste inside, so you can be sure you'll be greeted with perfectly dry bags rather than an unexpected mess when it comes to taking the bins out. The only thing that might make you hesitate is the price. But if this isn't an issue, then these are the food waste bags to go for.
.Simplehuman Custom Fit Liners Code M 45L (95%, Best Buy)
We like:We don't like:You really do get what you pay for with these bin bags. While the price may be high, they're incredibly resistant to punctures from sharp objects and they didn't show any visible signs of stretching or thinning on their way to the 25kg breaking point.
.Costco Kirkland Signature Kitchen Roll Towel (100%, Best Buy)
We like:We don't like:In our tests, they required significant effort to pierce through a stack of three, wet or dry, making them amazingly durable.
.The Pink Stuff Miracle Cleaning Paste (92%, Best Buy, Great Value)
We like:We don't like: This is both the best and one of the cheapest oven cleaners we've tested.
In our tests, a significant amount of grime was lifted after the first application on a heavily soiled oven floor. After the second application, it was practically spotless.
It's easy to use – with a cloth or sponge, work the paste into the surface and then rinse with warm water. As a paste, it does take some effort, but if you're happy to put in a bit of elbow grease, you should be left with gleaming results.
Simplehuman CW2080 45L rectangular pedal bin (88%, Best Buy)
We like:We don't like:Our test scientists were surprised to find themselves describing this kitchen bin as 'a pleasure to use'. The wide pedal bar doesn't require too much pressure to open the lid and it closes softly when you remove your foot. The outside of the bin is relatively smudge-proof, so it should resist greasy fingerprints and curious pet nose prints, but it wipes down well if anything does get on it.
It's easy to reach into due to the wide opening, meaning that in the event of a split bin bag, it will be easy to clean and restore it to pristine condition in no time. While non-branded bin bags may not fit quite as firmly, if you're after the best and don't mind the price, this is the kitchen bin to go for.
