How to clean this?

[123rd]

How can I get rid of this from a bathroom sink? I think it's general grime and hard water deposits.
We have just bought the house and it was very unloved. I can't afford to replace any bathrooms etc yet.
I've tried barkeepers friend, general clearing products. Diluted bleach. And lots of elbow grease!
Any other ideas?? It looks horrid

I think it is limescale based. It’s tricky when it settles into crevices. Barkeeper’s Friend and elbow grease (the old fashioned kind not the product!) will probably get you there but try adding viakil or similar also?

It is difficult to remove the brown stains from the silicone

Also I apologise as that is not a solution just a comment , I have tried numerous ways to remove the stain from my silicone , I think ultimately it needs replacing

I'm surprised bleach didn't shift it. Was it the thick clingy stuff?

Could try fully soaking a cloth in white vinegar and leaving it on there for a couple of hours. It can sometimes break down the limescale.

Vinegar or lemon juice left for a couple of hours. Then come back, rinse and bleach.

I think bleach can’t work yet as it is sitting on top of limescale.

Ah that makes sense about the limescale.

Thanks so much. Will give them all a go

Also try Coke. It's actually a really strong acid... it might shift it

A 1 or 2p piece may scrape some of the limescale off.
Any staining left may come off with a magic sponge.

Killrock is good.

That’s limescale. I fixed the same problem with mine using vinegar. Pour in enough white vinegar to cover, leave to soak for 30 mins, rinse, scrub clean with any normal nice smelling cleaning stuff. Did the trick.

Just leave limescae remover in there over night.

Limescale*

Harpic toilet cleaner. The 100% limescale remover one. Works a treat and no scrubbing involved. Leave for 10 mins then rinse away, if its still there repeat the process.

White vinegar should do it

This stuff. You just paint it on and leave it for 15 minutes

Just a little update-just left a vinegar soaked cloth on it over night and hey presto. Thanks so much for the advice

Wow, that is impressive

Viakal is great at removing yellowing on white plastic sinks and destroys limsecale on taps
