Bartoline Sugar Soap Concentrate 500ml – Powerful Surface Cleaner for Paint Prep Removes Dirt, Grease and Nicotine, Improves Paint Adhesion for a Flawless Finish

Good cleaner that removes marks well. Can be a little abrasive. Good value

I’m currently in the middle of a renovation project that involves stripping 40 years of painted-over wallpaper, and I was left with a sticky residue that was mocking me. Enter Bartoline Sugar Soap. This stuff is liquid gold for preparation. ​How to use it for paste residue: If you’ve successfully gotten the paper off but are left with that stubborn, sticky gunk, you need to mix this properly. According to the instructions, you should mix 125ml of the bottle to 4.5 litres of warm water. ​Pro Tip: Don’t just wipe it; apply it liberally with a sponge and work it into the residue. Because this stuff emulsifies oils and greases, it breaks down the paste efficiently, making it easier to wipe away. ​Why I love it: It cleaned the walls so well that the new paint adhered perfectly, leaving a sharp, professional finish. It’s also incredibly versatile, I’ve used it on skirting boards and even to cut through grease in the kitchen. ​Final thought: It’s made in Britain, which not only supports local craftsmanship but also means I’m reducing my carbon footprint by not ordering cleaners that have travelled halfway across the world. If you want your renovation project to succeed, start with this.

Works well

Very good! Did the job.

Seems to work well Value price for size My daughter is please with results

Sugar soap is a very good cleaner, but the dilution is difficult to get right, as there are no markings on the bottle, to much and ready the surface for painting, to little and it does not do the job, my guess is they do not mark the bottle, so you use more than you need and buy it again. The 3 starts are for the bottle not the contents

Excellent value

Good sugar soap. Does the job! Be careful not to get in ur eyes.
