I loved how simple, yet clever this gel putty is. It is strong enough to hold together and yet I found it can get into some of the most trickiest places. The gel putty is tacky, and so does not stick fast to things, but just seems to grab the dust and debris I am trying to get rid of. I then just wash it clean and I am ready to go again. Very happy with this wonderful gel putty.
This ALIOBC car cleaning gel (160g pack) is the adult version of the slime toy for children and in the same way, it is extremely efficient at picking up every little bit of dirt from pretty much any solid surface.
Being essentially a viscous fluid, you just put a ball of it on the surface that you want to clean – a keyboard, ventilation grille, top of a camera and so on – and press it into the nooks and crannies, whereupon it grabs hold of much if not all of the interstitial dirt (and other objects) that it comes into contact with. Being viscous, when you pull it, it comes out in one piece, along with all of the dirt.
After you have removed it and recovered anything that you were especially attached to such as small pieces of jewellery or electronics such as TF cards, just roll it up so that you have a new surface and continue with the next area.
Apart from the obvious fun aspect of using this stuff, it is very good at its job.
This is my first time using this cleaning gel and I didn’t expect it to be really useful. It can be used to clean the water cup groove, air vents and dashboard inside the car, and anything with dust can be easily cleaned. It can be used repeatedly until the color turns dark or black, and then replaced with a new one. It has a wide range of applications, in addition to being used inside the car, it can also be used to clean any dusty area such as keyboards and window sills.
The pot of cleaning gel had a seal on it once the cap was unscrewed, which was not easy to remove, I needed to cut it out, its good that its there to keep the gel fresh, but it did seem exceptionally hard to remove. The gel was easy enough to pull out in one lump. I was surprised at how solid the gel was, but manipulating it with my hands made it more pliable. I used the gel to clean some of those hard-to-reach places in my car and I have to say it did quite a good job, picking up the dust, dirt etc. At the end you could see the dirt in/on the gel. I did think that it would be difficult to get it back into the tub as it was so full initially, but the gel had actually shrunk a little, so was easy to put back. At 7.99 (plus 20% off at time of review), I suppose it’s a fair price and of course you are not using any corrosive/harmful cleaning products.
This comes in a plastic jar that has a seal over the top to keep it fresh and extend shelf-life. Once you pop that seal you will get this lovely fresh smell, it’s kind of floral and fruity but it’s amazing. In fact after using this some time ago my hands still smell of it and it’s fantastic.
I tried this on two of the most hardest jobs – a keyboard and a car. These are dust collectors and with edges and shapes that make it hard to clean. First up my keyboard, which looks disgusting even though to the naked eye it’s not that bad honest! I squidged the blue gel into the face of the keys and it seemed to find it’s way in between the gaps getting fairly deep even if not right down the whole side of the keys. Pulling away slowly and it revealed clean keys. Yes there is still some dust but they really look great now even if the camera picks out some bits of dust. Because it is so quick and easy to use I will clean my keyboard more frequently and that in itself will likely mean the keys get better and better.
Next I tried it on my car which tends to just get a wipe over with a dust cloth but it never quite picks up dust between the buttons. In fact before using the blue gel I did give it a quick wipe over. And again it really managed to pick out hard to reach dust.
This is a great additional to your cleaning arsenal and I highly recommend it. Especially for that scent!
I’ve used this on both my keyboard and my car fascia, and it works reasonably well. It has a pleasant mild fruity smell. It is far better to have this supplied in a jar than in a ziplock bag (if you’ve ever tried to put gel back in a bag, you’ll know what I mean). Reasonable value. Four stars rather than five, because it has a tendency to leave the odd tiny fragment behind, which I haven’t found with other gels; I suspect this is because it is a little drier than usual. However, this means it is easier to get it back into the jar, and also you don’t get long sticky strands refusing to leave your fingers after use.
This is great stuff, I use it in the car for getting dust and dirt put of those places that is hard to reach and also around my desk, it is really good for using on a keyboard to pick up dirt between the keys.
It is sticky but not too sticky that you can’t hold it or it sticks to your hand. It is soft too, you can push it into cracks and in between plastic and it does a really good job of picking up the dust and dirt.
It comes in a pot and you can take the whole lot out or you can pull apart to have smaller pieces.
I really can’t fault it, it’s a really good idea and does an excellent job, to keep it in bet between uses you can just pop it back in the tub and screw on the lid. It will last a decent amount of time and is so useful for lots of different things.
If you need something for picking up smaller dirt and dust in hard to reach places this is great, it is not for larger spaces or hard ground dirt but for regular use to keep those places clean this is really good.
I often find car cleaning gels hit or miss. They can often have very poor adhesive qualities and they often have unpleasant fragrances (either overbearingly perfumed or very chemically smelling). However, this one from ALIOBC has neither of the problems as mentioned above. It has no fragrance and picks up dust pretty well (I found you had to go over the same spot a couple of times, but it did lift everything). I have used this on my MacBook Pro, and it almost looks new again. At the time of review in late June 2024, it is listed at 7.99 with the chance to take a further 20% off thanks to a digital voucher. For the current price, this is good value, and therefore can recommend it to you.
It kind of works – it’s not particularly sticky though. Picks up some dust and small bits of debris but don’t expect everything to magically disappear with it. A useful addition to your car cleaning toolkit but certainly isn’t going to replace anything.
When Hyundai created my vehicle, I am convinced the designers of the interior said “Let’s see if we can make this very hard to clean dust from certain areas” – and yes, they succeeded!
Suffice to say, I’ve found it really hard to get into some of the tighter air vents, slots, and buttons.
This gel from ALIOBC is great. It’s sticky, but not unusably so, and because it’s quite runny it easily gets into all the gaps and slots, and picks up any crud and dust it encounters.
Other similar products I’ve had came in pouches, which are harder to reseal… whereas this one comes in a nice resealable tub.
Great so far, and will continue using throughout summer for the car… not sure if this one has any antibacterial qualities, but from experience after about 6 months these become smelly, or even in one case, grow mould like a petri dish – so I’m hoping this brand is different.
Thumbs-up so far!
This gel is basically a high-tech putty that picks up dust, hair, and other unwanted bits. It’s reusable (until it gets gunky of course), non-toxic and comes in three snazzy colours. Using it is easy – just roll a piece into a ball, press it into dusty crevices, like air vents or pc keyboard for example and slowly pull it out. The gunk magically sticks to the gel, leaving your surfaces sparkling clean. No muss, no fuss. For under 8 this little thing is a steal – it works well on car interiors, electronics, furniture — basically anything. Sure, it’s not a high-tech gadget, but for a quick and easy cleaning solution, its a winner. Just remember to keep it away from water and curious little children. Recommended.
This is just like you have probably seen kids play with, but it has a thicker consistency which makes it just right to get around small spaces and pick the dust and dirt out. It’s ideal for all those little gaps in car ventilation, coin trays, etc. Plus, all the places in the home: keyboard, remote controls, etc.
It’s reusable until it dries out or gets too dirty, so it can last a long time if you keep it in its tub.
I use this on keyboards and car vents, and it does a good job of getting into between the keys and tight spaces in car fans. It’s great for loose items, but it won’t be able to clean everything as well as a cloth and water. However, it’s still worth having on hand to avoid having to take apart keyboards and the like.
