On November 21st, I wrote about how I bought and tried out Gunk Getter Cleaning Gel. I saw some at Walgreens and thought it looked useful. I bought a packet and found that odd slimy gel was like some kind of magic silly putty the way it collected dust, crumbs, and other bits of grime. I made sure to emphasize that I was making the post because I thought Gunk Getter was cool and nobody had paid me or asked me to make the post--but I also emphasized if the good folks at Gunk Getter wanted to give me more free stuff I'd happily try it out too.
Not too long after my post went up the CEO commented on it to shoot over a message with my info and the company would be happy to send me some more products to sample. I got in touch and gave them my address. I was expecting to get maybe a small package with one or two other things. I got two big boxes filled with a metric ton of cool stuff! Now, I shall share my thoughts on everything I had a chance to test out because I appreciate being sent items to review and it gives me a fun post to write. In alphabetical order...
Air Freshener
I don't put air fresheners in my car much, but I wanted to smell these and see how I felt about them. There is a Hawaiian version and a New Car Scent option. Frankly, I liked them both pretty evenly. Some air fresheners can be far too strong but these have a nice mellow scent that I could see making a car a little extra pleasant to sit in.
All Purpose Cleaner/All Purpose Cleaner Travel Bottles
This was really cool. Gunk Getter sent me both the big bottles and the small ones for when you're on the go. The big bottles are great for home use and the miniature models would fit perfectly in a car. Both sizes have microfiber cloths on the bottom of the bottles in a plastic shell you can pop off and then use the cloth with. The bigger bottles have a nice sizable cloth and the miniature ones have a snazzy mini cloth. It is a really cool design feature As for the All Purpose Cleaner itself, the product worked great. I sprayed it on my stovetop and it did a spiffy job cleaning everything up. It helped wipe away some other household stains too and cleaned up some toys for the kiddos. I was quite pleased with it. If I hadn't been supplied enough to last me a long while I would happily buy more of this as it was highly effective. In regards to the scent options, there is Lavender, Lemon, Citrus, and a, "Fresh," option. I liked Citrus but find I am most fond of the simple, "Fresh," as it is crisp and clean-smelling without overpowering one's nose.
Cleaning Gel
In my initial post, I wrote in-depth about the cleaning gel so I'll spare you all the redundancy of saying the same thing again. Just know that Gunk Getter's gel is some fantastic stuff whether you buy the little packet of it or the nice miniature jar that gives you more but still is pretty small and easy to take with you on the go or such.
Wipes--All Purpose
These are nice cleaning wipes that are less harsh than a bleach one but a bit more powerful than the kind you'd use on your face or bottom (these are not meant for your skin, after all). The Gunk Getter wipes are great at doing what the name says--wiping stuff up. These work a lot like the All Purpose Cleaner at getting grimy stuff looking better. A great product!
Overall Thoughts
I appreciate that the folks over at Gunk Getter wanted to send me a bunch of cool stuff in exchange for my thoughts (they never asked for a positive review either, saying good or bad feedback would be great)! I enjoyed sampling their various products and am pleased that everything they make is spiffy. My favorite products are probably the original gel because its so interesting texturally and the all purpose cleaner is extremely useful too. I'd recommend buying some of their products in stores or you can visit their website. I know I'm a satisfied customer!
