I make my kitchen sink shine with £1 B&M item that beats Flash and Viakal

I make my kitchen sink shine with £1 B&M item that beats Flash and Viakal Cleaning the kitchen sink doesn't have to be a chore – this cheap product is the best stainless steel sink cleaner out there, cutting through grease and grime with ease Keeping the kitchen clean is arguably the chore that takes up the most time at home, and it's hardly surprising given that it's the home of all food preparation. But it never fails to amaze just how much mess two people can generate in such a short amount of time. The bulk of that time is spent stood at the sink tackling the washing up. A dishwasher would be the dream solution, but with no space to install one, it is what it is. As a result, the sink — and particularly the draining board — are almost permanently cluttered with dishes or in need of a good scrub. Not everyone rushes to dry the dishes and put them away the moment they've been washed. The washing up itself takes long enough, so onto the drying rack they go, left until they're dry enough to be put away properly. This means the draining board doesn't always get the attention it deserves, with there always being yet more dishes to tackle instead. But upon taking a proper look this week, it was plain to see it was in desperate need of a thorough clean. Countless cleaning sprays, pastes and natural remedies such as lemons and bicarbonate of soda have been put to the test over the years. While none have been completely useless, there is one budget-friendly product that outperforms the lot — and it'll only set you back £1. How to clean your sink Given that my sink is stainless steel and constantly gets coated in food residue, I need a product that effortlessly cuts through grease and grime with minimal effort. After years of trialling various options, I've discovered that the Pink Stuff multipurpose spray delivers outstanding results. The name says it all, and this spray truly lives up to the hype. I've used it to scrub my shower, sink and toilet, wipe down kitchen and bedroom surfaces, and it performs brilliantly when tackling my sink.

I then removed the drying rack and any stray plates, applied a generous coating of the Pink Stuff around the sink, and left it to work for a few minutes. While the scent isn't that crucial given it doesn't linger for long, this product smells wonderful — incredibly fresh and clean, without any of that harsh chemical odour that some sprays have. Rather than using a cloth to buff it away as the instructions suggest, I chose a double-sided cleaning pad instead. The abrasive side is brilliant for tackling stubborn stains, shifting them with less elbow grease than the smoother side would need. The sink itself is never that difficult to tackle, but the draining board is where the real challenge tends to lie, thanks to the grooves and marks where water and grime build up. As a result, this area often requires two rounds of cleaning, though thankfully this spray means there's rarely much serious scrubbing involved. The Pink Stuff paste is equally popular for cleaning sinks, and having given it a go myself, I found it leaves behind a frustrating residue that seems to take an age to shift. The big advantage of the spray is that it simply wipes away cleanly, lifting food spillages along with it. The before and after photos say it all. In under 10 minutes, I managed to completely revive my sink with minimal effort, using just one affordable and versatile product. The Pink Stuff spray is available in most major supermarkets and won't break the bank. I picked mine up from B&M a few months back for just £1, and there's still plenty remaining in the bottle, so you'll certainly get your money's worth.
