Nicola Roy Says a £1 Spray Beat Every Sink Cleaner She’s Tried
In a column for The Mirror, Nicola Roy argues that The Pink Stuff multipurpose spray is the best stainless steel sink cleaner she has used, cutting through grease and grime in under 10 minutes for just £1.
Roy writes that the kitchen is the chore that eats up the most time at home, and that the bulk of it is spent at the sink washing up. With no space for a dishwasher, she writes, the sink and draining board are almost permanently cluttered, and the draining board rarely gets the attention it needs.
What Roy Tested and Found
Roy writes that she has tried countless cleaning sprays, pastes and natural remedies such as lemons and bicarbonate of soda over the years, and that while none were completely useless, one budget-friendly product outperformed the rest. She says she deliberately let her sink and draining board get far dirtier than usual, applied a generous coating of The Pink Stuff, and left it to work for a few minutes.
She writes that she skipped the cloth the instructions suggest and used a double-sided cleaning pad instead, whose abrasive side shifted stubborn stains with less effort. She found the draining board, with its grooves where water and grime build up, usually needs two rounds of cleaning, but the spray rarely demands serious scrubbing. She also writes that The Pink Stuff paste, while popular for sinks, left a frustrating residue that took an age to shift, whereas the spray wipes away cleanly.
Where to buy remaining spray supplies
Roy writes that she bought the spray from B&M a few months ago for £1 and that there is still plenty left in the bottle. The Mirror reported that the product is available in most major supermarkets.
