I've been considering purchasing some Enjo products - mainly for the bathroom and possibly kitchen. Some family members have tried it and said it wasn't worth it and they have chucked them away (this was a few years ago). So I have a few questions:-
Is it worth buying and not a total waste of money?
Does it really clean well?
Do you have to have a super clean bathroom/kitchen first before it is effective from then?
Where did you purchase yours for the cheapest price?
Which of the enjo products do you recommend?
Is there anything else I should know about them?
Is it worth buying and not a total waste of money?
I liked them. I still do. It's a great system, just takes a bit of getting used to.
Does it really clean well?
Yes. Stains come off carpet. Bathroom sparkling. Car very, very clean on 1 bucket of water. But I always wonder about germs.
Do you have to have a super clean bathroom/kitchen first before it is effective from then?
Nope. It will clean from day dot. Thing is, you don't use any chemicals, so if you do use them to clean soap scum, you do end up with lots of foam & bubbles etc. It's great for cleaning windows / mirrors as it doesn't leave streaks.
Where did you purchase yours for the cheapest price?
ENJO brand is sold by home parties etc, and it's a fixed price. However there are other takes - like OATS - which are apparently just as good.
Which of the enjo products do you recommend?
Definately the car gloves (green clean / blue care). Bathroom is good (white clean / yellow care). I really want the dusting thingy.
Is there anything else I should know about them?
You can just wash them in the machine, in a lint bag. Don't put in the dryer though. Best from a party, where it can be demonstrated. Preferably @ someone else's home, as your house always looks dirty after ENJO no matter how sparkling it is!
I looove my bathroom enjo mit. It is seriously the only thing I have ever found that easily gets the soap scum off the shower glass and mirror.
I also have the dusting one, and it does work, but if you leave the dusting as long as I do, it cant do the whole house before it needs washing (doesnt work so well once wet)
I cant comment on cost cos my lovely mum bought them for me :-)
LOL I could walk down the aisle to my Enjo mop too
I absolutely love Enjo. The only chemicals we have in our house for cleaning are Morning Fresh, washing powder and (ashamed to admit it ) one of those Easy-off Bam toilet cleaning products.
I have just about every Enjo product available. I use them all at various times but I def have my favourites, which are:
- All purpose cloth for the kitchen, for wiping benches, cleaning glasses, etc. You can clean dishes with no soap! Its a smallish square (maybe 15cm by 15cm?) that is a green and yellow fibre. We have two, so I can have one in use and then a spare in the wash or clean ready for use
- "Kitchen handy" - it is like a dishes brush, black and yellow, for cleaning dishes, great for pots and pans, plates, etc - again no soap required for cleaning
- Any of the Microstars - they are the big soft square cloths, like a chamois almost, that you can use for lots of things - I have one that cleans mirrors (streak free!), one for the car (more streak free mirrors), one for glasses and cutlery in the kitchen (when I want to polish off water marks for a fancy dinner party) and one for dusting - you use it damp and it cleans and dusts at the same time
- Bathroom glove - white on one side, white and yellow on the other, it is so fantastic and cleaning the bathroom!
- Toilet handy - made of the same bathroom fibre, white, but its on a little stick for cleaning the loo
- Enjo mop - as above, love it, I can clean all my tiles (kitchen, bathroom, laundry) in like 5 mins and it dries in about 2 mins
The only reason we have Morning Fresh is that sometimes when my DH produces a tupperware from his car that has been there for a dubious amount of time ( ) I like to soak with Morning Fresh first. And guests to my house are not quite sure about the kitchen handy and like to clean with detergent. Who am I to complain if they are washing my dishes?
The only reason we have the toilet gunk is because we bought an old house with a loo that is stained - and Enjo can't get rid of loo stains. It will clean, but not bleach. So I bleach the sucker!
The best and cheapest way to buy them is to host a party - that way you can get things cheaper, or even for free! But also at a party they will demonstrate them for you so you learn to use them properly.
If you family said they weren't working and were a waste of money, they weren't using them properly!
I dunno bout the cheapy ones... my ILs have some down at their beach house, the Sabco ones (or whatever they are called) and I try to use them when I'm down there... generally I end up taking my Enjos down as I just don't like them.
I only really use the floor one and bathroom one of the Sabco variety, but they are all grimy and ick. Maybe the ILs don't look after them properly? Who knows!
I went to an Enjo party fully planning to buy the stuff and in the end I couldn't justify the expense. And the hysteria about being cleaning product free really turned me off - there was all this talk about how you could only disinfect a surface by pouring disinfectant straight onto a surface and leaving it there to dry for an hour. So why bother, just use Enjo! Well, in my mind, I thought the Enjo isn't going to clean it either so I might as well stick with my current system.
Speaking of which, I can't get my head around not using disinfectant on a toilet, especially after a bout of gastro, say. And a kitchen sink, I think, needs a good scrub and deodorise once a week.
And I like having a nice smell after cleaning. As far as I was concerned using a sponge and environmentally friendly cleaner was just as good as Enjo and it was going to take a lot of sponges and a lot of bottles of cleaner before I got to the price of an Enjo.
The one Enjo I would really have considered was the glass cleaning one because I don't like using acres of paper towel but at the time I was so annoyed by the sales pitch I decided not to buy anything on principle. Especially when they started flogging "Method" cleaning products at the end of the party to use in conjunction with Enjo. I like the Method products and it just proved to me that they must have had plenty of feedback along the lines of what I was thinking.
Thanks Curly. See all those points you mentioned is whats kinda putting me off to. And interesting about the method cleaning products too then. I also have trouble justifying the price, especially if i did buy them and it turns out it doesn't work for me.
I'd love to also see any opinions of those who have tried it and didn't like it and why.
But still keep any positive feedback coming too. It all helps. Do you know how it goes with cleaning grease off too (DH works with trucks so grease is very common around our house).
Enjo - yes or no?
