How do I get this sink clean!?!

[ginandgingers92]

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has any tips please, for getting this sink back to its original cream colour?

DH has a habit of chucking the dregs of his tea down there and not rinsing it away, (despite me constantly nagging reminding him) so the sink has become stained 😔

I'm not 100% on the material, it just feels plastic (enamel?) to be honest, but you can see some little marks where I've used an abrasive sponge to clean it previously and taken a layer off I think. J cloth and elbow grease does nothing.

I'm in desperate need of something that won't ruin the sink but will get rid of the stains; it looks so horrible! Bicarb and vinegar?...
The other side is slightly discoloured but nowhere near as bad as this.

Oh, from a google, I think the material is plastic and resin!

Have you tried Cif cream cleaner?

I hate bleach with a passion but I’d try it as a one-off on that sink.

The powder version of barkeepers friend should get it looking cleaner.

Barkeepers friend (check first as it's powerful stuff)

Sterodent should do it.

An abrasive cream cleaner. Astonish does a good one.

Pour a quarter bottle of neat bleach in with the plug in and fill with cold water. Leave for an hour. Don't use cif cream it will scratch it over rtime. Bleach is fine for the environment it breaks down quickly.

Cif cream cleaner is the best. It doesn't scratch! It is fabulous stuff.

Use washing powder as a paste and leave. It will come up beautifully. Often use this on stubborn pans and stains on chopping boards .

Bleach is fine for the environment it breaks down quickly.

Not true. Chlorine takes forever to break down and is persistent in the environment for years.

Another vote for CIF with the green side of a sponge/scourer

I would have said bicarb and vinegar! Got to be worth a go first.

Leave to soak with hot water and a dishwasher tablet.

Amazing! Thanks all! I'll work through all the suggestions- something has to work! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Try the pink stuff. It's amazing and non abrasive

Cif cream cleanser. Rub it on and leave for ten mins or so

I need to know if it came clean!

Yes, tell us OP!

Ah sorry! I did a combination of cif and bicarb/vinegar and it's definitely whiter- I think!! I'll send a pic when I'm inside!

🤞🏼

I second the pink stuff! Amazing!

Harpic White and Shine is fantastic on things like this. I used it on my sink recently.
