In my constant quest for the perfect cleaning products, i am starting to panic buy. Yes, I even bought this to make my sink perfectly shiny and mirror like. Ok not quite but the thought is there. I spotted it on the shelf, and had to have it, along with the obligatory dozen other things. I think I have this theory that if I buy enough things the house will clean itself. Enough...
IT PROMISES;
As all products do, it makes its promises to me, and this one promises to revive and renew my sink and to prevent limescale build up (ashamed to admit, I don't think I would recognise limescale build up if it was staring at me).
It removes stains, tough dirt, soap scum and hard water marks from stainless steel sinks, acrylic baths, chrome, copper and brass.
It also states that it is not tested on animals (very good) and that it has been approved by The Vegetarian Society (this confuses me!)
AVOID USE ON :
Gold, pewter, silver, lacquered surfaces and enamel baths. Remember to do a small test before you start to make sure it won't ruin the surface.
THE PACKAGING
This comes in an environmentally friendly blue bottle with the Shiny Sinks logo on the front and a flip lid. Remarkable little thing has finger grips on the side; I don't know what else to call them but your four fingers fit neatly into these grooves, obviously so the bottle doesn't fall into your shiny sink.
HOW TO USE IT
I love this bit...the reading of the instructions because at this stage nothing can go horribly wrong.
All you have to do is give it a good shake before you start; easy with the finger grooves! Then, flip open the lid, squeeze a small amount onto a damp cloth and rub lightly. Rinse the sink and wipe with a cloth and hey presto, you can apply your make up whilst looking into the depths of your sink.
WHAT I THOUGHT
Great, I did all of this, followed the instructions to the letter, and it did work. I have a SHINY SINK!
No waiting around for it to take effect, just instant gratification. The product itself is a pleasant white runny cream with no harsh bits so your hands don't feel as though they have been sand papered. It also has a sort of perfumy (is there a word?) smell, not at all like lots of cleaning products which often smell of ammonia.
The only down side is that when you have rubbed the product onto your sink and then rinsed, you have to do quite a bit of rubbing to make sure all the residue has gone and you are not left with smears. The next downside is that it doesn't self clean. The final downer is probably pertinent to me in that I have taken on a sense of "ownership" with the sink, and resent it when people just willy nilly splash water around so that I have to start all over again.
Advantages far outway the disadvantages- it's worth giving it a go.
