Both guides below carry a cost-per-cleanse figure, which is the number the category never prints.

What changed on 24 September 2026
- Removed the old method box. It described star ratings and a /10 score the page no longer shows, and pull dates that were months old.
- Set to noindex: this hub only links a few guides, so it stays for navigation but out of search results.
