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.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/06/2017 14:46

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

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 07/06/2017 14:46

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

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 07/06/2017 14:50

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

icelollycraving · 07/06/2017 19:02

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

Mysterycat23 · 07/06/2017 19:04

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.
