SteveD CB500K0:
That is where the phrase comes from Bryan.

It was a white (?) paste and was around in the 60s. I can remember being one of the bad boys at primary school who had to scrub the black marks off the floor caused by us swinging our black-soles shoes under the tables.

That would have been about 1967.

That would be about right Steve, i was out with dad63/4 ish, nothing to sell 400 gall parraffin on a Saturday.
Remember Chemico along with Omo powder?

Lobo:
.... I can often remember helping my dad out (as a small kid) and ending up with grimy oily hands. He’d make me hold ‘em out, sprinkle VIM (a white coarse Kitchen scouring powder) and then petrol - to make it a paste. Dear god it cleaned well, probably because it removed a few layers of skin...
Oddly I’ve never had ‘girly hands’ - can think why 🤔.

Nurse Julie:
VIM and OMO in out house when I was small (early to mid 60's). Mum saved up the coupons from the OMO packets and got me my first 2 wheel scooter. It was dark blue, with a foot plate brake for the rear wheel and had OMO stamped on the metal foot plate 😊😊😊

Vim and washing up liquid, always used that when the Swarfega ran out. ☺
