Cif cream, is great for white baths & bathroom sinks, so should work on yours.

Thanks Mrs E. Do you know if there are there a lot of chemicals in Cif cream?

There probably is:o

What about ecover (the natural range in supermarkets), do they sell a cream cleaner.

Cream cleaners are great for sinks & baths.

someoe told me half a potato soaked i bicarb would cle stais from sink - it did work. Never use bleach, it takes any protective coating off, which is why you then get stains.

Astonish orange paste (sold at Lakeland) lasts ages and is very cheap...cleans my sink excellently!

Thanks for your great ideas. Have to log off now but will be back later. See you then xx

The biological washing powder really works and I suppose you'd need to make a paste for the draining board. But to save you scrubbing I always fill my sink up with washing powder solution about once a week and leave overnight. The fairies clean it while I'm asleep! If you use a washing up bowl or dishcloths leave them in the sink too.

Give stubborn stains a prolonged rub with the flesh of half a lemon - it works wonders.

Have you tried a past of bicarb?

Once you get it clean, try giving it a rub over with car polish to give it a protective finish (not very OS, sorry )

I'm sure someone will come along soon with much better OS suggestions than this!

You've got to be careful with bicarb on enamel surfaces, it can scratch them. Depends on whether it is treated enamel or not.

Hi I have just popped over from DFW. I read OS all the time and it has helped me save a fortune.

Can any of you lovely OSers tell me how to clean a white sink Old Style? I have recently moved and can't get the tea stains etc from my sink. I used to have a ceramic one.

Thank you xx

My in-laws warned me about plastic sinks, so we bought a steel one My MIL uses biological washing liquid to clean hers

I'll add this to the existing thread, to give you more suggestions.
