    Advice please, Flyladies. The plughole in our bathroom sink is not sparkly and shiny, it is black and nasty. It's been scrubbed with fla$h type liquid and a microfibre cloth, it's been attacked with j!f type liquid and it still looks grubby. Any suggestions as to how I can make it shiny again?
    Better is good enough.

    Afternoon all

    Uni visit done, got up at 4:30 so a little tired now to say the least. Having a cuppa now and then I need to do something to stop me from falling asleep.
