In 2005 I complained about my Astralux kitchen sink in my new house
and the hard job it is getting it clean, compared to stainless steel,
ceramic or enamel.

On Saturday I happened to see a new product in Wilkinson called
Astonish Oven and Cookware Cleaner. This is a mildy abrasive paste in
a tub, not unlike the stuff I once used to lap in valves. But it is
the *first* cleaning product that actually works on the sink to remove
the really stubborn stains! I actually purchased the product for
cleaning stainless steel pots and pans, then I thought I'd just try a
little on the sink, with one of those rough scouring pads (not Brillo
pads!) and it's ruddy hard work, but there *is* a definite
improvement.
