GoJo vs Goop Opinions

Post by Jerry B. »

I was originally a Kotton Klenser proponent. Then I tried non-pumice GoJo with the same great results at a fraction of the cost. Now I'm having trouble finding non-pumice GoJo locally and I've tried several stores. I brought home a small tub of Goop. Tell me Goop Guys, am I going to be happy with the results?

Thanks, Jerry B.

I've used both and didn't notice a difference, really.

I've used Goop for years, the white non-pumice version of course. Available at Harbor Freight, where you can also usually get a 20% anything coupon. The only downside I see is that over a length of time, it separates and becomes watery. I usually toss it at that point and start over.

When it separates like that, I just stir it up and mix it back in. Sometimes I notice it gets kind of oily. I add a bit of water and stir it up... back to normal.
