Astonish Original Cleaning Paste 500g – Mandarin & Peaches

Astonish Original Cleaning Paste is a UK-made, chemical-free all-purpose abrasive cream cleanser in a 500g (17.64 oz) tub. The formula uses natural mineral abrasives combined with gentle cleaning agents to tackle stubborn grime, grease, soap scum, and stains across bathrooms, kitchens, and household surfaces—including tiles, taps, glass, cookware, and garden tools.

Form & Abrasive: Thick paste with mineral-based abrasives (specific type not disclosed on listing); positioned as gentler than harsh chemical alternatives.

Use: Apply a small amount to a damp cloth or sponge, scrub in circular motions, then rinse clean. No gloves required per the label, though some users report wearing them for extended use.

Key Appeal: Fresh mandarin-and-peaches scent (unusual for a scouring paste), chemical-free positioning, and UK heritage brand trust. Priced at ~$0.57/oz, it sits in the mid-range for all-purpose cleaning pastes—competitive with The Pink Stuff and Bon Ami but pricier than some budget cleaners.

Limitations: No explicit warning against natural stone or mirrors; scratch risk on delicate finishes not clearly documented. Returns data sparse; paste may dry out in open-air storage.
