Removing tea stains from 'stainless' steel sink

JuliusCaesar · 2008-11-12 14:11:20

Dunno if this is the right forum - mods feel free to move. My sink gets very tea stained and washing up liquid isn't doing the job, but I don't want to use anything abrasive. Any ideas?

Bleach will remove it, either use gel or straight bleach, wipe the whole bowl and leave for 10 minutes, rinse and repeat if needed.

Baking soda should do it.

I spray mine with Flash bleach spray, leave it for a while then rinse it away.

Thanks all. I think I'll go with the baking soda - I've a bit of an aversion to using bleach!

Fill the sink with boiling hot water and add a biological washing tablet, whatever brand you use in your washing machine, and let it sit for an hour or two. Sink will come up a treat!
