We had a little problem in the beginningwhen I thought I’d ruined the hob by using an oldsaucepan on the glass surface but after speaking toone of your staff and sending some photos I was told Ijust needed to get some hob cleaner!We had never had a glass hob before and I thoughtthe stains were the enamel chipping off, but after aclean with Hob Bright, it was as good as new.Our old cooker was a death trap and money beingtight meant a new cooker was not something we werein a position to get straight away, but you have helpedus immensely.I’m back preparing lovely home-cooked meals again,ready for when Judy comes home from dialysis.Thank you all very much, you have been very kind andhelpful.Kind regardsRon and JudyKidney Care UK will treat your details in confidenceand in accordance with current data protectionlaws.
