    Question Anyone else *not* like orange glo?

    Gabe loves this cleaner. I personally can't stand it. I feel it makes everything greasy feeling. If you like it, please tell me what you are cleaning with it and maybe I can somehow understand why folks like it.

    I used it on the flat wood kitchen cabinets at my moms house and it really cut the grease--it made a big mess of the stainless steel wall next to it though.

    I have terrible allergic reactions to it, can't even go into stores that use the orange cleaners. We use one at work and they had to discontinue it because everyone was breaking out with skin rashes. So, I guess that would be a no vote. Debbie

    Well, I really like how it cut the grease on some cabinets I was re-doing, but I hate the smell! Too strong and it made my nose all itchy feeling.

    I use it on the kitchen cabinets. It left them nice and shiny. I like the smell. It doesn't bother me.

    I used to like it until dd cleaned my dining room table with it and it left spots everywhere!!!!! I am so mad, not at dd but at the cleaner. I have no clue why it left spots either. I have used it on my wood table before and never had a problem. (The table is pine)

    My sister used it on our wooden night table and it left a white mark. It seemed to strip some of the wood. We have used it on our other wood pieces...and for some it does a beautiful job, and other pieces it did not. Rather, it really did not make a noticeable difference.

    I also dislike the smell.

    I find I get the best results when I use a flannel cloth. You can buy a pack of 3 at the dollar store, or I cut up old flannel sheets.

    I was so excited to find a use for dk's ratty or stained flannel crib sheets.

    I also use the flannel for cleaning our copper range hood, the flannel always seems to help get me the best results.

    I am now very cautious when using orange glo.

    When cleaning anything, I always get the best results using a flannel cloth or shammie from the dollar store!

    I would never use it on wood! I use it on my stovetop and the outside of the fridge and I use it at the lake on our outdoor furniture on our deck. It does a great job on all of those. I try to go with natural cleaners indoors. I hate to inhale all of those nasty chemicles

    I own a cleaning company and love this stuff. My customers also love it Key to it is using just a very small amount with a nice soft cloth. Also you have to work it into the wood which takes time and rub off any amount left with a clean soft cloth. It does take time but to me it works great. Just my opinion. It does take work to get this cleaner to show great results!
