Help. White plastic sink.

I've tried diluted Stardrops, Cif Cream Cleaner.
The sink is discolouring. How can I get the stains out? The smallest spot on it causes a mark.

Help!

I use a washing up bowl for washing my dishes, but it's still staining around the plughole after I tip the water out.

    How do you apply the Cif cream cleaner? I scrub my white plastic sink with a nail brush and Cif cream cleaner................and that cleans the marks/stains.

    You could try soaking the sink overnight (1-2 inch depth) using biological washing powder and that should shift the most stubborn stains.;)

    Do you mean 'Asterite' or 'Astracast'? I've had an asterite sink for 15 years and aleays use bleach on it. Cleans all the tea stains etc.

    We always chuck a bit of bleach in the water and leave it for a while. Seems to work quite well. No scrubbing involved at all.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Thanks to all who replied. Sorry for delay. Lost my own thread!

    Have also found advice on another thread on here. Found it the day after posting. Typical.:o
