Currently use dettol spray but it's not giving me a sparkling clean. What do you use that gets your sink beautifully clean?

Washing up liquid does the trick for mine.

Bar Keeper's Friend. It's just fantastic!!

Scrub with washing up liquid, Cilit Bang spray or I have just discovered a wipe over with a magic sponge works a treat.

Astonish cleaner because it is inexpensive and does what it says on the tin.

Cif or shiny sinks on kitchen sink. Either fairy liquid or flash spray on bathrooms.

FusionChefGeoff · 07/06/2017 19:03

Clean normally ie flash or fairy liquid then Mr muscle window cleaner then wipe with kitchen towel

The trick is to dry it off completely straight away e.g. with a tea towel or microfibre cloth.

Also works for everything in the bathroom Grin

MollyHuaCha · 07/06/2017 19:06

I use Cif (its silly name puts me off it though)

beepbeepimasheep · 07/06/2017 19:12

Lidl own brand of coke!

GeneandFred · 07/06/2017 23:00

Cif cream and then buff with Vikal on a microfibre cloth.

gamerchick · 07/06/2017 23:02

Magic sponge and buff to a shine with a microfibre cloth.

BertieBotts · 07/06/2017 23:04

Stardrops. If you can still get that. Amazing stuff.

SealSong · 07/06/2017 23:05

Buff your sink?
I don't think I've ever done that. It's rarely empty enough.
Clean round with a bit of cif is as good as it gets.

MrsJamesMathews · 07/06/2017 23:05

Bleach

I accidentally got my stainless steel kitchen sink sparkling with biological washing powder after cleaning the washing machine drawer out in it. That was a happy day!

OCSockOrphanage · 08/06/2017 14:55

Astonish paste or washing powder both work well.

gemmatay · 08/06/2017 21:30

I use this stuff called shiny sinks It makes my taps sparkles hehe

Viserion · 08/06/2017 21:35

I finally got some Barkeeper's friend today after reading about it here. I have just polished all the limescale off from the granite round my sink. I didn't think it would ever look so shiny again. I am genuinely amazed and will be joining the ranks of ravers about it!

Washing powder and an old toothbrush

Mix to a paste then scrub.

thenightsky · 08/06/2017 21:42

Cilit Bang Lime and Grime. Or Stardrops with ammonia when I get get to Boyes to buy some.

OhDearToby · 08/06/2017 21:44

Stardops. I love the stuff.

chipscheeseandgravy · 08/06/2017 22:13

Atonish, it's in a blue square tub and can be found in places such as b&m, and poundshops. It's also amazing on plastic pvc window frames and glass jobs. It's really good and requires minimal effort. I also used it to clean my stainless steel appliances and they sparkle :)

ParadiseLaundry · 08/06/2017 22:33

Bertie, Home Bargains have a very impressive selection of Stardrops. I am a new convert to the stuff.

I was in a shopping centre without a HB the other day and dragged poor DH around every shop I could think of trying to get the one with ammonia in but I couldn't find any Stardrops anywhere.

I use a mix of Stardrops, Zoflora and water in a spray bottle and shine it up with a microfibre cloth. I use Cif every couple of days. I have a porcelain sink.
