Cleaning enthusiasts can be seen all over social media scrubbing grime off their oven doors, sinks, pots, and bathroom tiles. While some of the mildew build-up did come off, I had to rub on those much harder than I'd done with The Pink Stuff.

I have used The Pink Stuff to clean my old white trainers (I would always test on a small patch before doing this) but I would not use the paste on other clothing. So a good work around is to first test The Pink Stuff on a discrete corner of what you are cleaning just to check that it doesn’t cause any problems. This is definitely not one of those "spray and walk away" cleaning products; it takes some serious scrubbing to remove the toughest stains. If your oven has not had a good scrub for a while then you will still need to put a bit of elbow grease into scrubbing it, but it does a great job and leaves it shining like new.It should come as no surprise then, that a “miracle cleaning paste” from Stardrops, is making waves in the online cleaning community. I use The Pink Stuff as an occasional cleaner to tackle tough burnt on stains, rust, limescale and grease.

It should work similarly to powder-based cleaners like Comet and Ajax, says James Dickerson, CR’s chief scientific officer.

The Pink Stuff can erase rust with a bit of elbow grease from you and leave your towel rail looking like new. With a dollop of paste and a quick scrub using a soft-bristled toothbrush, the grime easily lifted away. The Pink Stuff carries a warning on the pot saying not to use on plastic or acrylic surfaces, however I would add I have used it on a uPVC door to get rid of scuff marks and it’s been great. After the second round of smearing, scrubbing, and wiping, it still wasn't perfectly clean, but compared to where I started, the difference was pretty remarkable.

Simply get a damp sponge or cloth – such as the Minky M Cloth – and dip it into The Pink Stuff, scraping away a small amount of the cream onto the sponge.

You apply it using a soft cloth or sponge, gently rub it onto the surface, and rinse it off with clean water. Touted as an all-round cream cleaner on an array of common household surfaces, The Pink Stuff is a mild abrasive that is supposedly "gentle on surfaces but tough on stains". On opening the lid of the small tub of The Pink Stuff, I was pleasantly surprised by its mild floral scent – there was no harsh cleaning product smell, which was definitely a plus. Using 100% natural cleaning particles, this versatile cleaner is tough on grease and grime, and won't leave behind any streaks or smudges.
