Franke Frangranite Sink -Help!!!!

stooklie

I have a black fragranite sink that has become badly stained with tea coffee etc. Can anyone recommend a effective cleaning product that is safe to use and won't discolour the sink. I have tried various kitchen cleaning products which are not making any difference.
Your help would be much appreciated as I don't want to ruin the sink.

The Pink stuff seems to work.

Thank you Zinger549. I did consider this one but have not tried it as I thought it might lift the colour, might be worth a go as nothing else is working.

We have a white Fraganite sink 3 months old, I know what you mean about staining

After I googled, I spotted suggestions from Franke and others saying biological soap powder left to soak overnight works.

Also those green scotchbrite pads work too

After I used scotchbright it now seems to prevent staining probably because it's made the surface a little smoother and less receptive to holding on to stains.

Apparently staining is an ongoing problem with these fraganite sinks.

I might go back to the tip and see if my old b&q sink is still there (joke)

 Neversurrender Thank you for your suggestion, its good to hear its not just me and helpful from someone who has used a product which has not damaged the surface,

I'm curious about how you can see tea and coffee stains on a black sink.

They get a brown tinge on the black, it can be quite noticeable.

As Emmia said above.

I've got a composite sink in a dark metallic grey. I can see a few tea stains sometimes, but they come off easily enough with a gentle scrub with a dishwashing brush and some washing up liquid.

Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.
