From Star Drops comes a popular pink cleaning paste known as The Pink Stuff, which has taken social media by storm due to its ability to tackle tough cleaning tasks. Made primarily from quartz, soap, and sodium by UK-based company Stardrops, this product is certified cruelty-free and safe for various surfaces and tasks both indoors and outdoors. Stephanie Phillips, a cleaning expert, recommends using The Pink Stuff to clean kitchen surfaces, bathroom fixtures, household items, and outdoor spaces.
In the kitchen, The Pink Stuff can efficiently remove grease and burnt-on food residues. However, it should be avoided on non-stick cookware, glass, and unsealed natural stone surfaces. To use it effectively, apply a small amount to a damp cloth or sponge, scrub the surface, let it sit for tough stains, and wipe clean.
For bathroom cleaning, The Pink Stuff is great for tackling soap scum and stains on bathtubs, showers, and sinks. Wet the surface, apply the product with a sponge or brush, scrub gently, let it sit for tough grime, and rinse thoroughly.
When cleaning other household surfaces such as walls, doors, floors, and doorknobs, The Pink Stuff can help remove scuff marks, shoe prints, and fingerprints. However, avoid using it on delicate surfaces like matte or flat-painted walls. Apply a small amount to a damp sponge, rub gently to remove marks, and wipe clean.
For outdoor cleaning, The Pink Stuff is effective on patio plastic and metal surfaces. Simply apply the product, scrub gently, and wipe clean for a refreshed look. Remember to always test on a small area before using it extensively.
The Pink Stuff is a versatile cleaner that can be used on a variety of surfaces, including furniture, stained stone surfaces, and the exterior of grills. It is also effective for scrubbing brake dust from alloy wheels and shining up certain types of headlights.
To use The Pink Stuff:
1. Apply a small amount to a damp cloth or brush.
2. Gently scrub to remove dirt and weather stains.
3. Rinse with clean water and dry.
4. Rinse thoroughly with a hose or bucket of water.
It is recommended to always do a test patch on shiny or polished surfaces before using The Pink Stuff to ensure that the surface can handle the mild abrasion.
In addition to its primary uses, The Pink Stuff can also be used for various tasks such as cleaning seals and gaskets on washing machines, removing adhesive residue from stickers, cleaning scuffs from suitcases, shining rubber soles of sneakers, and cleaning hair styling tools.
While The Pink Stuff is a versatile cleaner, it is important to avoid using it on certain surfaces and materials to prevent damage. Avoid using it on glass, electronics, unsealed natural stone, very matte or glossy surfaces, non-stick surfaces, wood, leather, or fabric. Always test on a small, hidden area before using on delicate, coated, or polished surfaces.
