I couldnt resist..........Wife was moaning about a rust mark down the
sink caused with a few drips over a couple of years when the tap was
turned off which hit the overflow outlet.

So told her to google it as she cant afford to pay for my knowledge :-)
She tried lemon juice /salt/bicarbonate of soda/bleach/vinegar and
everthing in between nothing removed it.

Knowing one way or the other I would remove the stain I told her when I
have a couple of minutes to spare I will sort it, she went shopping so
used toothpaste and and wiped the stains off in seconds!

She wasnt impressed as she now thinks I am a c... for letting her slave
over it for days.

I'm a little curious why toothpaste worked when some of the others, some
of which are used in toothpastes or as toothpaste, didn't.

That aside, you need to work on your technique. You should have
suggested toothpaste, then the 'victory' would have been hers ;-) and
your kudos would have been enhanced.

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive.

So is baking soda- in fact some toothpastes use baking soda. (Some)
People use it to remove stains from teeth that tootpaste leaves.

I do think somebody on this list with a sig line about benefit fraud needs
to update it to cover current benefit names.

Depends on how much of it is still undissolved in the other stuff.

Not much anymore.

but over the years seemed to have adopted the Penelope Keith philosophy.
