Cleaning Gel Amway
This effective drug is familiar, probably, to all the hostesses, if only because the ads at Amway are at their best. The remedy is far from cheap, but really effective.

An effective product at an attractive price, which has proven itself in the cleaning of grills and ovens. Can be used for cleaning metal and surfaces with ceramic coating.

Sanita R
The composition is intended for cleaning of ovens, frying pans, barbecue, extracts. It is produced in the form of a thick gel, in consistence resembling "Amveevsky", so it is a pleasure to apply it.
