Lidl limescale remover
Flash bathroom spray (in a dishmatic and its great to use)

I never heard of the pink stuff before reading this thread! Now I'm intrigued.

I hope this doesn't turn out like the time I tried some Method products following good reviews on here, and found the worse than useless.

Yeah, pink paste is the key. It'll bring anything up like new!

Also brown dettol. Just makes everything smell clean.

@TheYearOfSmallThings I'll attach 2 pictures from today. I have a 13 year old hob with 13 year old ring stains on it. Nothing has ever shifted it. I just gave up and accepted they would always be there. I just gave it go this morning with pink stuff paste and tin foil (I've previously tried pink stuff alone to nil effect). You can see the rings have gone! I'm in shock! So yes, it works! But you may need to try it using different things to apply.
I use it mostly for getting scuff marks off the upvc front door (and any upvc windows too!), toy scuff marks off the bath, and off the plastic kallax boxes that the kids scuff with their toys too.

I went into Wilkinson this morning and all the pink stuff products were out of stock!

Clearly I am late to the party Grin

Koh cleaner. Every time.

We don't have a town water supply with a grey water conversion, so we can't use products with nasties. Definitely no bleach, grey water safe products only.

Koh gets the job done better than any product I have ever used.

@IDoAllMyOwnStunts

Thank you all. This is the bucket I have that has caused me confusion!

@IDoAllMyOwnStunts - It looks like you have clean water in the one side then squeeze out the dirty water on the other so it doesn't contaminate your clean water so much

After years of disappointment of one 'wonder product' after another, and shit loads of plastic bottles in the process, I now make my own cleaning spray that I use for pretty much everything. Washing up liquid, vinegar, lemon essential oil and topped up with water, and it is great!

I absolutely hated Nana's Secret cleaning clay - it smelt horrible (not of lemons!) and no matter how much I wiped and rinsed it still left a nasty residue - binned!
