Which Selleys kitchen cleaner do you need, and why is the cooktop a special case?

The most important thing on this page is a warning rather than a recommendation. Selleys oven cleaners are great for clearing all types of grease and grime from your oven, but they are not designed for cooktops. The two surfaces sit next to each other and look like the same problem, and they are not. Ceramic glass and induction cooktops need a product formulated for them, which is what the Hillmark Cerapol and Ceraseal range is for — cleaning and protecting those surfaces without scratching or streaking.

Beyond that, the kitchen divides into general cleaning, which a multi-purpose disinfectant handles, and speciality surfaces — stone benchtops, appliances, leather — where each material needs a product developed not to damage it. Daily cleaning, spot cleaning or spring cleaning: whatever type of housekeeping you are doing, there will always be surfaces and objects that require a special approach.

What this category covers

This is Selleys' speciality kitchen cleaning section, covering benchtops, cooktops and appliances. The product listing on the live page loads dynamically and is not captured here, so this page sets out the products Selleys names in the category's own text, plus the general kitchen cleaners confirmed elsewhere in the catalogue.

How to choose

Cooktops

Selleys directs ceramic glass and induction cooktops to Hillmark Cerapol and Ceraseal, described as perfect for cleaning and protecting those surfaces without scratching or streaking. Scratching is the risk that makes cooktops different: a glass cooktop that has been cleaned with something abrasive keeps the marks permanently, and the burnt-on residue that tempts you to use something abrasive is exactly what these products are formulated to lift instead.

Stone and composite benchtops

Hillmark Stone Kleen & Protect finishes off delicate cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom. Selleys describes it as an anti-bacterial formula that does not only clean and sanitise but also protects polished granite, marble and reconstituted stone benchtops and vanities. Polished stone is porous and easily dulled, so a product that cleans and protects in the same pass is doing the job a general cleaner cannot.

Appliances

Selleys lists a Hillmark speciality cleaning aid for a variety of appliances and surfaces, each developed to clean and protect without damaging sensitive materials — including cleaning and descaling a kettle, coffee machine or iron. Descaling is a chemical job rather than a scrubbing one, which is why it has its own product.

Leather

Selleys names a Hillmark product for cleaning and conditioning leather with a single wipe.

General kitchen cleaning

For everyday grease, grime and stains rather than delicate surfaces, Selleys Complete Clean Multipurpose Spray is formulated to kill 99.9% of germs and cut through grease, grime and stains within kitchens, bathrooms and other household areas. The Complete Clean Multipurpose Disinfectant Cleaning Wipes are the ready-to-use version, specially formulated to cut through grease and grime.

Tiled splashbacks and grout

Selleys Grout Stain Whitener restores grout in the bathroom and kitchen, covering or whitening stains and brightening tiles.

Common questions about Selleys kitchen cleaning

Can I use oven cleaner on my cooktop?

No. Selleys states plainly that its oven cleaners are not designed for cooktops. Use Hillmark Cerapol or Ceraseal on ceramic glass and induction cooktops.

What can I use on a stone benchtop?

Hillmark Stone Kleen & Protect, which cleans, sanitises and protects polished granite, marble and reconstituted stone benchtops and vanities with an anti-bacterial formula.

Is there one product for the whole kitchen?

Complete Clean Multipurpose Spray covers general kitchen surfaces and is formulated to kill 99.9% of germs. It is not a substitute for the speciality products on cooktops, stone or appliances.

How do I descale a kettle or coffee machine?

Selleys lists Hillmark speciality cleaning aids for cleaning and descaling kettles, coffee machines and irons.

Why do delicate surfaces need their own products?

Selleys describes each Hillmark aid as developed to clean and protect without damaging sensitive materials. On stone and glass, the damage from the wrong product is permanent rather than cosmetic.

What about the splashback grout?

Grout Stain Whitener covers or whitens grout stains and brightens tired-looking tiles in the kitchen and bathroom.

Why does this page not list products from the catalogue?

No products sit directly under the kitchen path in the site's own listing — the page's listing is generated dynamically. The Hillmark products named above come from the category's own text and do not have individual pages in this listing.
