So the power of social media advertising worked on me when I spotted the Koh Starter Kit on offer! I was drawn in by just how powerful this cleaner was, but it was toxic-free. This is perfect for me as I have been looking into reducing how many chemicals I’m using in the house with my cleaning products, but there are some jobs that just need some chemicals to get the job done. Like the oven cleaning!
Koh Starter Kit Review
I was drawn in when I saw how the Koh cleaning products can clean up your oven without the use of chemicals. Oven cleaning has to be one of the worst jobs to do, and mostly because the chemicals used to break through the fat and burnt on food are SO strong.
So would it work……
What’s In The Koh Starter Kit
- 4-litre universal cleaner
- Atomiser spray bottle
- 4 cleaning cloths
- 3 diamond sponges
- Instruction book
All of this was on offer for £19.99 plus postage
Allergy UK
What really struck me on the website was all of the certificates Koh has for all the eco make up of this product and the biggest one for me is that Allergy UK has certified this a suitable product for people with allergies and asthma. My twin girls have asthma and this is one reason why I would like to reduce the chemicals used within the home.
Oven Test!
OK this wasn’t a very fair test to start off with! My oven was terrible and something that has just been forgotten about and not kept up with. I will from now on as it was tough to clean up and this product is so easy to use.
Before
After
Looking good now, isn’t it! So how did Koh cope with my terrible oven? Well considering Koh is toxic free and has no harsh chemicals, it did fantastically! It was so nice to be able to clean the oven without filling the house with fumes, or shutting the kitchen off and leaving it for hours to work. Koh doesn’t smell at all! You can add essential oils to it if you want to make it smell nicer when you’re using it as a general cleaner.
I did find that the videos I did watch was with oven doors that were flat, so the product was able to sit on the grease and start emulsifying it and breaking it down. Mine was just running off the door. When I first went to scrub off the oven I expected it to be instant removal like I had seen on other videos, and it wasn’t, but their ovens weren’t in such a bad state as mine!
I left the product to work for a bit longer and kept working at the oven door.
Diamond Sponges
The Koh cleaner couldn’t have coped with any of the oven greases if it wasn’t for these amazing diamond sponges. I found if I sprayed the Koh universal cleaner directly on the diamond sponge and did small circles in the area it worked away at the grease and came off.
But we aware of how much they wear out when doing a tough job. After a while of using it, it was struggling and I didn’t understand why I couldn’t get anymore grease off. Until my husband suggested using a new one, and boom the grease disappeared! These three above are lined up, one very well used one on the left, slightly used in the middle and not touched on the right. These are normally £4.99 for a pack of 3 but these are really what did the job of getting the oven cleaned up.
The glass oven top just needed to be sprayed and wiped off with the green cloth to bring it up nicely.
Koh Universal Cleaner
This is supplied in a 4-litre container, which has a little pouring spout on it. This makes it so easy to refill your bottle up with more solution.
I would be interested to hear if anyone knew what the arrow on the bottle is for?! I imagined it was where to line up the lid but there isn’t another matching one that I can see? The bottle is brilliant, it gives out a full mist of cleaner in one push of the button. I used a lot of cleaner doing my oven and I didn’t need to refill the bottle.
What I love most about the Koh universal cleaning solution is that it is so universal! I can use it on so many different items around the house to clean up and I don’t have to keep stopping and changing products.
Koh Cleaning Cloths
Supplied in the Koh starter kit is 4 cloths, and conveniently they have colour coded them.
- Two green for most household surfaces and jobs
- One white for glass and gloss surfaces
- One blue for bathroom
These can be washed in the washing machine at a 60, I normally would like to wash my cleaning cloths all in one go at 95 so it gives them a really hygienic wash. But I put these on a wash after using them at a 60 and the colour ran out of the green one and made the white one light green now!
Glass Cleaning With Koh
I wanted to try out the glass cleaning cloth with Koh and see how it stood up to that.
You do have to be careful with cleaning products on the windows as they can leave a streaky but not Koh! It wasn’t streaky or smeary at all and sparkling windows and mirrors.
Bathroom Cleaning
Now to try out the bathroom sink, and I had a great idea to use the diamond sponge on the limescale on the waterfall tap area and behind the tap.
Before
After
Hard to show you how clean they came up as my sink isn’t as dirty as my oven!!
But I went a bit heavy handed with the diamond sponge on the waterfall tap and rubbed away the coating on the tap. It went slightly reddy looking. Completely my fault for doing too much as I could see it was taking away the limescale!
But it did well around the back of the tap and on the plug limescale, so I am pleased about that!
Cleaning The Floor With Koh
I have a white floor in the kitchen with a dog who comes in and out lots of times during the day, along with the kids! So having a cleaner that copes with that is important. So I got it to clean up the floor, including the backing that has stuck to the floor from my doormat!
Before
After
Very impressed! The one thing I did miss from using Koh on the floor was no smell, I like to smell I have washed the floor. So I’m going to add some essential oils to my floor mop next time I use it.

Overall Thoughts About Koh Starter Kit
I am very impressed with the Koh started kit, for the price of £19.99 as it was on offer with 50% off I think it’s a great product. It breaks down the grease so easily, cleans up windows without streaks, stainless steel greasy extractor hoods, bathrooms, limescale and ovens. The fact that it’s toxic free and great for homes with allergies, it’s going to appeal to a lot of people.
*I purchased this product myself, I will happily be purchasing this again and using their products in my home.

Great that this worked for your oven so well. x
Thanks, I was glad too!
Ooooh this looks really good. I’m asthmatic myself and when I clean the oven, which is not very often, I have to admit, I almost going into full on respiratory failure. That stuff is lethal. So I’d be well up for trying something more allergy friendly and less toxic. Will definitely consider this.
Yes really do consider this stuff, it smells of NOTHING!
I bought this kit too after seeing it on Instagram ads but it didn’t work as well as yours did unfortunately
Oh no that’s a shame, I hate that when that happens when you’re expecting something to work really well and it doesn’t
It has done a fab job of your oven, I need to give this a go
Thanks! It was a good job done!
Wow this stuff looks amazing! My oven is in desperate need of a clean so might just have to get some of this x
Good luck with your cleaning!
I love how simple the design is, but yet how effective the solutions are. That oven transformation is great. My eldest gets affected by perfumes so it’s nice to see a chemical free product.
Yes my girls hate it when I use other products, they didn’t even know I had used the cleaner with this stuff! No smell at all!
I could really do with getting this myself. Cleaning the oven always seems like such a chore – but trying new products will often motivate me to do it.
Yes as you can see I put off doing the oven for ages too! I will try and keep on top of it now!
Hi Steph, am tempted to order this, especially for my oven door and the extractor hood and splash back. I see you are offering a further discount, having clicked on the link I don’t seem to be getting the discount showing in my basket, I was just wondering if I’m too late for this?
Many thanks, Beverley
Hi, I have just checked it for you and once you click through to the payment section it should have it come off then. Thanks!
Wow it really has worked well. That is some transformation. It sounds like a wonderful product and I love that it is free from chemicals.
Yes having it chemical free is such a good idea and much nicer to use
Wow what a transformation on your oven, I really need to clean mine. I’ve recently been taking more notice of the cleaning products I use and have been trying to use more eco friendly ones too.
I will keep on top of it now after getting it like this!
I’m honestly mouth open wide at the before and afters!
The difference is amazing given its toxic free.
This looks like a great starter kit x
Amazing isn’t it!!
Oh I like the look of this universal cleaner and I could use it for so many things in my home, it also leaves amazing results.
Amazing isn’t it, I love being able to use it on so many different areas in the house
Ooh I love the look of. this! We are trying to use zero chemicals in our cleaning but I struggle with the really gritty jobs! I need to try this!
Yes I know just what you mean that’s why I thought I would try this
Wow look at your floor and oven! That is seriously impressive and just goes to show we don’t need all those nasty chemicals to have a clean house.
Brilliant isn’t it!
I’ve almost moved away from chemicals (I use vinegar and bicarbonate of soda on almost everything!), but I’ve been looking for a good oven and toilet cleaner. Thanks for sharing.
It’s great not to use the chemicals isn’t it, there is just some things that need a little extra isn’t there. But is great for it
