Sink cleaning - help!!

[PeonyPatch]

Does anyone know how I clean the discolouration around from my sink?? Thanks so much xx

Scrub it with a dishwasher tablet.

If it is stainless steel and already a bit scratched then I’d use a stainless steel scourer.

Dishwasher tablet or something like pink stuff in a tub (the slightly abrasive stuff) works a treat

Bleach all over with a washing up brush, leave for a few minutes then rinse. Do not turn the tap on high and splash water onto your clothes.

Those Milton sterilising tablets are good for this too. Basically just bleach in tablet form.

Thanks everyone I’ll try a dishwasher tablet and scourer x

It just looks like tea stains in which case hot soapy water and a non-stick scourer should do the trick.

Hot soapy water with or without white vinegar covers most cleaning issues.

Bar keepers friend is less abrasive than Pink Stuff paste and worth a try.

Do some hand washing. Once a week I soak school uniform in the sink for an hour or so (filthy kids). The added bonus is that the laundry detergent destains the sink as part of the soaking.

Cif cream or Barkeepers Friend on a sponge. Use an old toothbrush to get in the plughole and around joins.

This is what I do too, don’t use a scourer, you’ll spoil the brushed steel finish.

Put the plug in add Coke Cola to cover stain area let it sit for 15-20 min.

Rub the seam areas with a soft sponge to lift up the harder areas.

Re-apply more Coke as needed.

And get people to flush away liquids more offten by running water.

Any sort of multi-surface cleaner should take it off with scouring sponge. Washing up liquid might even be enough.

also, run water round the sink after tipping tea down the drain.

Coke usually does the trick for me.

Scourers will scratch it and make it worse in future. Do you have any bicarb of soda or baking powder? Dampen stained area, sprinkle bicarb generously and leave for 10-15 minutes. When you go back the powder will be brown and the sink will be clean. Rinse off.

Pink stuff or just plain old fashioned bleach

My sink is the bane of my cleaning life , not stainless steel but a resin/granite compound in champagne . Lovely when it's clean though

I'll give the bicarb a go , I have a tub in the cupboard .

Washing soda and boiling water. Also cleans out the plug drain.

OK, I’m back. I’ve decided not to use a scourer, as I agree with PP on that it’ll scratch me sink! So shall I soak a bit of dishwasher tablet on top? What should I use to scrub it with? A cloth? A dish sponge?

Cillit Bang. Gently scrub with a normal sponge or sink brush.

Just use some cif or Barkeepers Friend on a cloth, that'll sort it in no time.

Bicarb on a cloth or nylon scourer should work. Failing that, Barkeeper's Friend.

Barkeepers friend is amazing, also Nannas Secret which is a clay paste, and puts a sort of coating on that stops the stain sticking.
