| ldusold's Full Review: Magic Goo Gone GG12 |
After going to the races and leaning against something in the race car hauler. I had gotten some black grease on a practically brand new shirt. I was upset. Needless to say, I bought an 8 oz. bottle of Goo Gone. This would be the Ultimate test, to see if this stuff REALLY worked.
Before even washing the shirt, I rinsed it in cold water to remove as much of the goopy stuff that I could, and then I poured some of the Goo Gone directly onto the grease. I let it sit for a while, and then went and rinsed it in cold water and applied MORE goo gone, letting it sit again. I did this a few times, and then decided to wash the shirt. To my surprise, the shirt washed well, but I did notice there was still something showing on the shirt, but I decided to dry it anyway, by the time it came out of the dryer, you couldn't tell that anything had been there. I was totally amazed. Usually once something has grease on it... FORGET IT.. you've destroyed your clothing!
I have used it for removing crayon marks, and also the sticky residue from plastics or glass, after removing a sticker, like maybe price tags or something like that. I have also used it to remove the residue from the stickers my son has put on his computer monitor, and his dresser. It takes that stuff off quickly and easily. I was impressed. It had done what I needed it to do. It was like that secret formula of Miracle cleaner that we all wish we could invent. Well someone finally did.
Last night while doing the dishes, I had a fairly new pizza pan, (One of those air bake pans) and I noticed it had a lot of like burned on sticky Pam cooking spray residue on it. My husband likes to use that for making his frozen pizza's that he's addicted to. Well, I washed that pan, and scrubbed and scrubbed, and used a scouring pad and everything. That burned on Pam spray would not budge, but it kind of smeared a little like a sticky type of substance, so I said... "Hmmmm, I wonder if Goo Gone will remove that?" And sure enough it did.
All I had to do was set the pizza pan flat on the counter, and I just poured a little bit all around the outside edge of the pan. and then I took a scouring pad, and just scrubbed it lightly, (hardly any elbow grease required) and sure enough right before my eyes I saw that sticky gross Pam junk coming off my brand new airbake pizza pan. Wow, was I ever happy. I didn't want my new pans to be tacky or sticky with that stuff. So I found out that the Goo Gone was also good for removing that sort of "crud" from your cookware.
Goo Gone advertises that it will remove:
Stickers
Make-up
Oil
Wet Paint
Scuff Marks
Shoe Polish
Tree Sap
Asphalt
Candle Wax
Tape
Glue
Grease
The scent of this powerful solvent is a fresh citrus type of smell. It's definitely not harsh smelling, and does not cause irritation to your hands.
I don't think there is anything that I hate about this product at all. This is definitely a miracle solvent, I would recommend it to anyone who wants a little magic help along their way in cleaning up the little messes that life has to dish out.
I have not tested it on my vehicles so I don't know how it would work on car or the paint on a car, but I don't think it could harm it. It didn't do anything to the plastic of a computer monitor, or the metal from the pizza pan, or even the wood from my son’s dresser. I don't think it's a harmful chemical. It is Non-Toxic, but it must be flammable because it says not to use it near heat, sparks or flames.
You will find many uses for Goo Gone, and for a fairly good price too. I only paid $3.99 for my 8 oz. bottle, and I would say that it's only 1/4 of the way gone. And I use it for a lot of different things. It's worth every penny, especially if you can save your shirts, furniture, walls, pans, etc...
UPDATE: 3/15/04
I have found yet another use for Goo Gone. I would never have believed it, if I hadn't tried it.
Over the weekend, I was staining the bookshelf that I had bought for my son. I happened to accidently get some stain on my hands. It was the kind of stain that is already pre-mixed with the polyurethane, so believe me, it gets sticky. If you get it on anything, you have definitely made a mess.
Well of course, leave it to me, I got a few drips of it on my hands. It dried there, and it was sticky. I was washing my hands, and I really had to scrub, and NOTHING was happening. I do not have Mineral Spirits like they say would work. I had asked my husband if there was any gasoline left in the gas can in the shed, and he just shrugged and said... "I don't know" it had been summer when he last used that for the lawnmower.
Well suddenly I looked up, and there was that bottle of Goo Gone, sitting on the counter because it had not been put away from using it earlier that day. So I said... What harm can it do to my skin? I held my hand out and let it run out onto my hand right where the sticky varnish was. To my surprise, right there before my eyes, it was like watching a magic eraser. Sure enough, the goo gone was erasing the varnish from my hands. I then just rubbed my hands together a little bit, and then ran it under hot water and then washed my hands with soap as usual. I promise you this, you would NEVER EVER know that I had sticky varnish on my hands just minutes before that. I was truely amazed. So, if you are doing any sort of wood staining. You might want to keep a bottle of Goo Gone handy. Even mineral spirits doesn't clean up varnish messes like goo gone does!!! This truly is an awesome product. I will never be without it in my house, that's for sure.
