Newbie question here.
Hubby poured tea down the basin in the shower room a few times early on and it has left a nasty yellow stain. Have tried bicarbonate of soda to no avail. Can anyone recommend a product that will work well without harming the basin?

Buy him some decent teabags! I mean, tea has to be dog rough for a man to sneak into the bathroom to tip it.............:(

This stuff is great. I use it for any stubborn stain on sinks, baths, showers, pots and pans, kitchen work tops, etc. Doesn't harm, is not abrasive. You can get it in asda, tesco, sainsburys.

BOY is he in trouble then!

You could try toothpaste. It's good at getting scratches out of CD's and stains from hard surfaces. (I wouldn't use the tooth whitening version though - just cheap stuff will do). Apply with a dampened cloth, don't rub too hard.

Baking powder is very good for removing tannin stains. Sprinkle it on, and rub gently with a damp sponge or cloth.

Don't push too hard if scrubbing - the plastic's paper thin, particularly near the pug hole and will crack easily if you're not careful.. :whistle:

Now I'm even more worried (the paper thin plastic!)

Hello , just a word of warning, I cleaned the basin in my rapido with a cream cleaner after it had become discoloured and it disintegrated in front of me it was like a scene from a sci fi movie as the plastic turned into what can only be described as white corn flakes ,it cost about 80 quid to replace a small plastic bowl so be very careful what you use :eek:

I have left a very mild solution of bleach on ours, rinsed and dried off then polished with autoglym and then no further stains :) I tend to polish a couple of times a year.
